Bio
I am currently contracting as an event and real estate photographer, videographer, and editor. I have completed the Certificate 4 in Photography and Digital Imaging and have 25 Years of computer graphics experience. In that time I have created visual effects and motion graphics for film, television and promotional videos. I have worked as a videographer and graphic designer creating posters and web graphics. I am now pursuing work in photography, videography, motion graphics and editing.
For the past 12 years I owned and operated a business supplying pubs and clubs event marketing collateral. That business is now defunct due to Covid 19. While operating that business I created and delivered promotional content including photography, graphic design, videography and video editing.
