My career objective is to apply my comprehensive range of photography, videography, teaching, technical, and customer service skills, gained throughout my studies and career, to a challenging and rewarding new position. My widespread experience includes photography for weddings, live music, commercial and adventure/lifestyle, as well as managing solo and group exhibitions. Further, I have extensive experience in the use of specialist editing software, and experience working in a diverse range of locations and conditions.

My strong interpersonal skills and positive disposition allow me to work efficiently with customers, staff and management to consistently meet and exceed mutual goals and objectives, and overcome the more challenging aspects of the job. I consistently set high standards for myself and my team along with a commitment to excellence in everything I set out to achieve.
