Professional Profile

As an artist I have a strong passion for the visual arts and my work explores fashion and humans’ sense of unique style and as a photographer I wish to celebrate this. I find that photography can engage an audience as images evoke something tangible and an image can tell a meaningful story that holds many truths. I work in fashion photography and portraiture and as an artist I find that portraiture brings me closer to other humans in exploring their sense of identity. Within my work I use the analogue medium as for me film has a timeless aesthetic and beauty. My hope as artist is to keep exploring the world and build friendships and great experiences on my creative journey.

Work Experience

For work experience as an artist, I have worked in an interior design firm based in central London. This placement lasted two weeks and gave me more of an understanding of what it’s like working as part of a design team to build and carry out projects. As part of this two weeks, I used software such as Illustrator and SketchUp and went to buildings in London that were currently being developed. Overall, this work experience was very beneficial as it made me more aware of what it’s like to be part of a team and carry out projects for clients.

I have also done paid work as a Free Lance photographer working at catered events producing photos for clients. Working at these events helps build up confidence as a photographer as I’m having to work with large groups of people and constantly listen to what they would like me to produce for them and engage with their feedback. The catered events would tend to be fast paced so I had to be constantly talking to people and taking photographs of people at the event and building rapport with clients.

I have also produced work that has been exhibited at the Royal Academy in London. This was for the Young Artists Summer Exhibition 2020. It was a great experience to be a part of an event like this and getting international exposure to my work. What I take away from this is by being able to exhibit at galleries helps build my profile as an artist and allows my work to gain more recognition.
