Worked in Amsterdam for 6 months, assisting mainly still life and lifestyle. I was an e-commerce photographer for 9 months in a studio in London and through this I acquired extensive knowledge of technical and meticulous lighting set ups. I also understand most photographic equipment is heavy. I am competent in the use of Lightroom, Capture One, Photoshop, and various others softwares. I have a good background in DIY which comes in handy regularly. Happy to take a beer/coffee and chat after an intense day

Hi, I've assisted for 4,5 years now and absolutely love it. When not assisting or second shooting, I work on my own stuff (weddings, portraits and events), but have no other commitments. What I can do for you: get your camera, laptop, lights, background etc. ready; take direction very well; get along with everyone on a shoot really well from the get go; focus on the job throughout the shoot. I have been told have a very good eye for small detail, have a great attitude and lots of initiative. I learn very quickly, am hands on and don't mind getting mucky/any "small tasks". If it's fast paced it's OK: I worked as a store manager for nearly 7 years so I'm used "thinking on my feet" and staying calm under pressure. I can also do basic grooming and styling. With regards to programs, I personally use Lightroom and Photoshop CS4, but when assisting I also use Capture One, Leaf and Phocus. I do my own website so I know basic Dreamweaver. I shoot Canon, but most photographers I have assisted use Nikon and I'm comfortable with both. I am based in North London and happy to travel (I've been on shoots all around the UK -Sheffield, Glasgow, Southampton, Dorset, Cambridge, Birmingham, Brighton etc). I am eligible to work in the UK (I'm from the EU) and am fully insured with public liability insurance (covered up to 5 million), professional indemnity and cover for my kit. I'm available even on short notice; the shortest notice I've had is 1 hour so if you can give me more, that would be nice ;) As long as I haven't already committed to another shoot, I'll definitely be there -on time and ready to go.

In 2015 I graduated from university with a 1.0 BA (hons) degree in Creative Media Practice specialising in photography. After graduating from university, I volunteered with Raleigh International, (a sustainable development charity) and traveled to Malaysia, where I worked as the official expedition photographer for three months. Having arrived back in the U.K I am presently working towards developing numerous photographic projects. Apart from assisting Andy Earl for a day as part of his technical team and assisting fellow students throughout university, I can't say I have much experience of assisting. That said, I am extremely keen to learn and develop as a photographer and feel assisting other photographers will serve to enhance my photographic skills and ability.

I am extremely familiar with working on set both for both film and photography and understand the hard work and cooperation required! As a Producer I am extremely client-facing and pull out all the stops to get the job done. I'd be a personable, energetic and hard-working addition ready to get stuck in.
