| PROFILE: | I have worked extensively over the past 9 years on film and stills advertising campaigns in NZ, Australia and the US. I began working as a production assistant and soon worked my way into a production co-ordinator role while assisting many high-end photographers along the way. I put great emphasis on hard work, problem prevention, follow-through, trust, respect, accuracy, and honesty. In short, I put my best foot forward knowing that I'm representing your reputation in the market. I am confident with all the responsibilities an assistant and production co-ordinator undertake, and bring a unique and highly resourceful approach to both roles. I have also worked as a location scout on many of the productions I've been involved with. Sometimes scouting locations in rough and remote areas. I have a degree in Commercial and Illustrative Photography and Advertising from RMIT in Melbourne, which has led me into some interesting photographic roles. Not the least of which was spending 18 months documenting the exciting Earthrace project (see www.earthrace.net) in stills. I have done a great deal of documentary photography work globally, and have a keen eye for lighting and composition. This combined with my knowledge of production skills make me a useful guy to have on set. I'm ready to give my all for the sake of the end product. |
