• Photojournalist

  • Feb 2011 - Feb 2018

  I worked as one of the main photographers and journalists for Rise Tattoo magazine, an alternative art and lifestyle magazine. I curated the subjects on which I would work, finding interesting artists (both visual artists like Tom Bagshaw and tattooers) from across the world through internet, social media and recommendations; shot colorful and eye-catching covers; covered alternative art shows like Pari’s Hey! and events; unique movements and political groups and created my own art travel column. I also shot many of the magazine covers. I pushed the magazine to cover more female artists and towards new directions through pieces like my story on alternative jeweller Tessa MetCalfe. I developed a great catchy writing skill and both adapted my photography to the magazine's branding and developed my own colorful and expressive style. Show less

• Music Journalist

  • Aug 2005 - Sep 2008

  After replacing someone to interview a famous guitarist, I was then offered a full-time position straight out of university with leading French music magazine Guitar Part for whom I wrote and translated content on instruments, pedals and sound; interviewed world-famous artists like Tony Iommi and Dave Stewart; made subtitles to explain instrument techniques from musicians like Chad Smith or Airbourne and worked on building a database for an upcoming English-language website. I also worked on their other magazines such as Drum Part and Bass Part. I became a vital asset to the company not only because of my bilingual skills but also because of my dual cultural upbringing and wide knowledge of music and understanding of sound. Show less
