Freelance Photographer & Videographer 

A little bit about me..
In 2013 - 2016, I studied at Goldsmiths College where I got a BA in Fine Art. I knew once I left, that photography and film was what I loved and something I knew I needed to carry on pursuing. From 2018 - 2019, I completed my MA in Photography, The Image & Electronic Arts at Goldsmiths College. 

Now I work as a freelance photographer and videographer specialising in documentary, with a background in capturing performing arts. I got my first freelance job in 2015 and since then I have been working with a wide range of artists such as musicians, filmmakers, performers and art organisers.

While studying at Goldsmiths, I experimented with performance art by writing and performing in my own work.  With the combination of my photography skills and experience in performance, it has given me an understanding of how to approach and document any form of performance. With this live medium, I recognise the importance of being quick but having a close attention to detail. This too has helped with documenting any form of event, workshops and any project. I know how important these documents are for artists, so they can archive their portfolio and for promotion. So with every job, I need to keep my eyes open at all the time!

​From 2018 to present, I have photographed several projects and art events for galleries such as Camden Arts Centre, Whitechapel Gallery and Freud Museum London. I have worked and continue to work with organisations such as Whitstable Biennale and Custom Folkestone and Open School East. As well as working with artists individually to document their performances or workshops.

In addition, I have worked as a camera operator for the documentary series ‘Super Women’ and for other independent films. In 2020, I was the DOP for a documentary about London based fashion designer, Siah Howard. I continue to develop my skills in documentary filmmaking.

Outside of working, I am always producing more and more work for my own projects with photography and filming.

My aim is to get more involved and develop my skills in documentary photography and film, whether that be with performance arts, events, companies or for charities. In the end, I would love to be travelling all over the world, documenting life and capturing live events for years to come! 
I have worked with Rosie on several occasions on a few different projects. These have included photographing rehearsals, filming a short trailer on location, and taking photographs for use in advertising. Rosie is a pleasure to work with, she always has a positive attitude and a multitude of ideas to help you get the best out of your time with her. She is patient and takes on board the brief you give her, but is not afraid to make suggestions when necessary. She’s delivered high quality, beautifully edited content after every shoot I’ve had with her."
