Analogue Photography

My proficiency in capturing photographs using analogue cameras sets me apart in today's digital-dominated world.

Embracing the nuances of analogue photography has not only honed my skills but also enhanced my ability to produce efficient and impactful imagery.

Product Photography

In April 2022, I joined RV Astley as a Photographer and Marketing Executive and worked there for two years.

Photographing products in a studio setting challenged me to master indoor lighting techniques. This experience significantly enhanced my photography skills, especially in understanding and manipulating light within a confined space.

It also provided me with the opportunity to showcase my videography and video editing abilities for multiple companies: RV Astley, Astley Zhongshan, Lime Lace, AM Bespoke, Glaast and Nereus.
