...Brief Info About Me...
I lived on the south west coast of England for most of my life, and was gradually introduced to the busy city life of London, where the majority of my work was initially based. I was introduced to the American market in Sept 06, and made the move out there to the Phoenix area in Arizona (USA), where I am now situated, although I travel a lot from here.
I'm very passionate, independant, intense, ambitious and creative. I'm very much a career person, so I always give everything to any projects and shoots I get involved in, with a professional attitude and a desire to get great results.
I'm a people person. I'm fortunate, in that my work allows me the opportunity to meet a wide variety of people from different countries, backgrounds and cultures. I also have the ability to get on with anyone, regardless of age or background. I never underestimate a photographer's abilities, as I always guarantee to bring out the best in everyone I work with, regardless of experience, so I have no restrictions with regard to someone's "level". I don't believe in levels. If you're passionate about photography and creating great images, then we'll have a great shoot :)
I love being creative, dancing and performing. It's my life and my passion. I find modeling to be a great creative release for me, so when I'm not dancing on stage, I'm performing to a photographer's lens. It's very much part of who I am.
At 26, I have a wide variety of skills, qualifications, experience and credits to my name. All of these I bring to my work, and they have all contributed towards my current success in this industry.
My background has been is in Psychology, Sociology, management work/running hotels. I received awards from Lamda Drama school, an FDA in dance performance, and a BTEC ND in performing arts (dance, drama & singing). Along with this, 8 years experience as a dance performer & choreographer, and 3 years teaching experience. I've also danced and performed as a member of a dance company, and taught workshops alongside other established professionals, both in schools and professional organizations.
I'm trained in contemporary dance, although I have some core training in ballet and tango. One of my strengths is in contact and duet/lift work. This is an area I'm looking to bring to my future shoots with the right dancer. If you are a male dancer, please get in touch as I would love to work with you on a couple of projects!
I'm in the process of getting a new website designed, so there will be more room on it for a longer in depth bio, with my full resume. I will keep you posted. :)
