I work mainly in fashion and documentary photography and filmmaking. I studied Performance Art in Brighton in 2008 and since then steadily climbed through self-teaching myself and working with many others. Now I make my living through a varied scope of work. I also edit video and photography.
Very varied – Some days are edit days and some days are shoot days – If it is a shoot day it can be an early start ranging from 5 am to 8 am- I will either drive or get a taxi and set up if it is a shoot day – shoot days can be very long!
If it is an edit day I try to get out and edit on the road anywhere I can. I may walk into Central London or cycle. If I work from home I make sure I cycle into town and get a coffee at some point.
On Shoot days I will photograph and film – if fashion it can be inside or outside, if it is a documentary again I can be anywhere! Either in London or travel to another part of the country or even be getting a plane somewhere.
I can be working on one project or many different ones if editing and at some point also need to do all my accounts and admin! I check my emails throughout the day and try to be responsive.
Otherwise, I need to update my site at least once a week and work on SEO.
