Nicky Sinclair Photography

• Photographer

  • Sep 2006 - Present

  Started my own freelance photography business and became proficient in a wide variety of photography related skills. These are including but not limited to film and digital capture (black and white/color), making darkroom and digital prints, natural and studio lighting (strobes and hot lights), digital retouching and manipulation using Adobe Creative Suite products (Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom), and computer monitor calibration. I am also familiar with different film formats and cameras (35mm, medium format, large format, full frame and cropped APS-C digital sensors). Nicky Sinclair Photography includes both commercial/freelance and personal documentary work, such as portraits, events (weddings, baptisms, baby dedications, etc) products, architecture, and more. During my time working for myself, I obtained a variety of administrative skills such as booking my own shoots, keeping a log of work related expenses and taxes owed from my profits, social media marketing and promotion, simple web design using Adobe Dreamweaver, and graphic design (making my own promotional business cards, postcards, fliers and the like).
