Storytelling through a visual medium is a process I take pride in practising, involving the art of videography and photography. Capturing detailed fragments of a world using 50mm lens’ to 160mm and subjects in their given thirds is a skill that can provide an alternative perspective to the world, and is something I am passionate about. 'the art of dreaming,' a 52 paged, photographic book is a main achievement of mine that practises this. It photographically explores depths of fields with sunlight of white balance and colour temperature, with poetic language that highlights relevant global topics, including environmental waste and social discrimination / inequality. Skills under software ‘Bookwright’ and Adobe Photoshop were developed during said project, though I wish to further improve my technicality within Creative Cloud and impactful wordplay on real-life topics in further education. Additional academic achievements include a Level 2 Silver Arts Award in Film. The award provided me with soft team working and presentation skills, with the ability to use Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, all skills that I would again love to apply within my further learning and for media production projects. Institutions such as ITV, BBC and BFI have provided me with life changing experiences, partaking in the BFI Film Academy, BBC’s Get into The Media including a live interview on BBC London News, and ITV’s open newsroom opportunity. Said institutions acted as existent examples of how the media functions, and provided me with the opportunity to network. Networking at the BFI Film Academy led me to work experience at Pinewood Studios for filming of ‘Enola Homles,’ giving me a feel for how a set works, with extra work alongside photographer Alex Bailey.
Workshops with advertisers of Nike - Wieden and Kennedy have provided me with knowledge on strategies with media, how to use media to have an influence and impact on larger societies.
My interest in ambiance makes me an extroverted, environmentalist individual, focusing on views of the natural world evident in my cinematography. This originated from partaken summer programmes, including National Citizenship Service (NCS,) PGL, and CPSHE ‘Bucket list’ activities such as submarine diving and touring the east coast of Spain. A life goal of mine also being travel.
