Photo Assistants in West Midlands

I am a professional, punctual, and reliable person with a strong team spirit and ambition. I consider myself highly enthusiastic and a fast learner, able to work under pressure with patience. I am a dynamic, friendly, and cheerful person with strong communication skills, able to work well both independently and as part of a team. I have completed a photography course, where I learned about camera features and how to use them effectively. I have a great passion for photography, and I hope to turn it into my future career. If you are interested, please feel free to contact me!!

During my course at the university of Gloucestershire I have used many different photographic techniques and equipment. I have been trained to use 5x4 large format camera, Medium format and 35mm. Printing and developing film, scanning film and using Photoshop up to CS2. Also with the co-ordination of companies such as Hasselblad and Phase One I have the knowledge to use the more modern cameras such as the Phase One P 45 back along with the Capture One software. Phase One have also asked me to test their new camera in relation to long exposures and painting with light due to take place in September 2007. My fellow students work and mine is exhibited at the Gloucestershire Constabulary building in Quedgely Gloucester, which I curated as part of my course. Some of my photography has been use to advertise a photography competition called Gloucester 1000 as a celebration of 1000 years of Gloucestershire. A selection of my images were also short listed, from my University group, for use in the June 2007 Issue of Photography Monthly who wrote a piece on our degree show exhibition. I have been an active committee member in the Unleashed 2007 group, who were responsible for the organisation of our degree exhibition activities. Unleashed 2007 have exhibited at Focus on Imaging at the NEC Birmingham and more recently at the Covent Garden Film studios in London, endorsed and sponsored by Canon, Phase One, Velmex, Photography Monthly, Fuji Film, Peter Jones TV and Half Minute Media. More recently my portfolio has been short listed for the Nikon Discovery Award.

My interest in photography started reading NatGeo magazines that my parents used to buy when I was a child. My dad, an amateur photographer, gave me my first (film) camera as a birthday present about 15 years ago. I learnt how to develop a film and I remember being in a darkroom was one of the most fantastic and relaxing things in the world for me back then and I swore never to fall for digital. Not sure how it happened but I eventually gave in to it and got my first digital camera in 2005. I now can say I love both film and digital photography. I think they are both cool in their own way! These days I shoot mostly digital but have recently started shooting with film again for fun! Only disadvantage is no access to a darkroom. Regarding my digital skills I took a professional digital photography course in a great photography school in Spain. I've taken photographs for Kew Gardens and I'm currently taking photos for The National Trust. I was also once a volunteer at a workshop given by a Magnum/NatGeo photographer (mostly logistics and translations but also had the opportunity to attend all the talks and see him in action). Recently I have been getting experience working as a second shooter for a wedding photographer.
