Tell us a little about yourself and what you do.
I’m
a photographer, director, producer.
Who (or what)
inspires you to do what you love in your own creative business?
I love working with people
primarily, learning about them, working with them.
Telling stories inspires me also- making people question themselves, entertained and happy is very rewarding.
Where do you get your inspiration from when you do your shoot?
Usually before a shoot I’ll imagine
what character I think people are, and shoot them how I see them. It’s fun
playing dress up and bringing a theatrical aspect to photography. I am also
inspired by music and sound- now moving into directing music videos it’s a
great marriage between visuals and music.
Tell us about your very first job and what path have you taken since
then?
My very first job in photography was assisting the
director of British vogue, robin derrick, at 17. He was the one who encouraged
me to go to college and study photography.
My path started in photography in London, I got my
BA from camberwell arts in photography, once I graduated I moved to toronto. I
assisted some of the top photographers in north america at westside studios.
Then, moved to california where I have developed more skills in other areas
like producing, I’ll always shoot photography though, for the rest of my life.
It’s the only thing I know I’ll do forever.
Describe a typical day in your creative business?
Waking up, answering emails,
writing emails, making calls. I’ve been doing a lot more producing work
recently so it changes depending on the assignment. Usually, I produce
everything I shoot.
As an Artist, what is your biggest frustration?
Money.
Can you please tell us about how do you connect with other artists,
and your audiences (i.e. how do you network)?
I just get chatting to people and
build friendships wherever I go, sometimes you meet the most inspiring people
at a coffee shop rather than an actual networking event. I try to seek
inspiration and contacts from unexpected places.
What advice can you offer other creative people who are just starting out and following their passions?
Do what you want to do, make the art you want to make, and
most importantly actually follow through with it. Procastination is one of the
most popular routes people take through the creative process, stick with an
idea give yourself a deadline and make it happen.
What dreams do you still want to achieve or fulfil in your life?
I would like to produce feature films that are globally
recognized and awarded.
What is your proudest moment so far?
Leaving an office with people crowding round a computer
watching my work, that made me proud.
Who do you most want to meet and why?
Obama and Michelle, because they are an inspiration.
What is the most important lesson in life that you have learned?
When people are difficult, smile and be nice, Then they are
more likely to do what you want then.
Where do we find you and your
service?
