I am highly motivated, and I welcome the opportunities to develop myself wherever possible.
I have created a portfolio of stills and moving images using my own G4 Apple Mac, Sony camcorder, Nikon SLR and a couple of medium Formats. My portfolio consists of personal projects and research involving news, magazine, advertising, film, TV and website. I am intellectually curious about filmmaking and photography and have a drive to produce the highest quality products.
