About Talent:
I'm primarily a stills photographer for BTS, promo/poster materials, headshots, screening events, film festivals and award ceremonies, Q&As and beyond! Have dabbled in some DIY videography and basic editing so know my way around the filmmaking workflow, but stills are my main jam. I work with a lot of other queer creatives and performance artists on all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Special skills include invisibility cloak while on set, good vibes and endless determination to get the best shot possible! ✨
Based in Glasgow with frequent travel to Edinburgh. Will be happy to work anywhere, but sadly do not drive or own a car.
