  Freelance Photograper

  • South Africa

  • Freelance Photographer

    • Jan 2004 - Jan 2014
    • South Africa

    In between studying and during extensive travel, I have spent the past several years building a portfolio of creative photography and completing several commissioned freelance projects. I have taken full ownership of all my projects, from creative conceptualization to post-production. As both production manager and photographer I am experienced in setup and natural lighting, image capture and medium-appropriate editing for web and print.Personality, perseverance and patience are essential to any freelancer, perhaps specifically for a photographer. Although freelance work has been solitary at times, I have always drawn on my ability to blend quickly into work teams and to build rapport with different people and maintain a clear head and calm demeanor under pressure, for example when working on shoots.The impact of digital technology has revolutionised the industry. Although I will always be drawn to the artistry of shooting on film, I am an experienced digital photographer.
