2. BIO
Photography has been a constant throughout my life, and in 2004
I took a leap of faith and went back to study to make this my full time
passion.
My previous life and work experience has included a cross-section of
marketing and brand roles within media and events industries. I am also
currently studying a Masters of Marketing to further expand my depth of
knowledge in this area.
Having a marketing / brand background has proven invaluable to my
clients as I can offer constructive collaboration to develop creative briefs
to meet brand and marketing communication tactics, and then deliver
upon the creative concept.
I am more than a 'photographer-for-hire'...I am a creative partner adept
at understanding the high level view down to the detailed delivery. For
the majority of my commissions I have been art director, talent
coordinator and photographer!

4. Hamad Medical Corporation:
Aerial shoot to profile the LifeFlight Ambulance
rescue service. The brief was to capture
LifeFlight in action against Doha backdrops
and the shoot required helicopter-to-
helicopter logistics. Showing the movement of
the blades was a technical requirement.

5. Rumaillah Group:
I was commissioned directly to develop an image library to profile their
equipment hire; equipment servicing; blind manufacturing; warehousing;
and office fit-out divisions, along with casual management portraits. Profiling
the brand was a baseline requirement.

7. QPMC:
This image library project was commissioned through a creative agency to
document the shipping, processing and distribution of aggregate product.
The brief was to make bulldozers, sand and rock look interesting! 4am starts
were required to avoid the summer heat and humidity, and to catch the
best light. Locations were around southern Qatar.

9. Schlumberger:
The marketing department required images to promote the Qatar
partnership for underground water research, and the transfer of
knowledge. I was commissioned directly to travel with the staff to
numerous well locations throughout central Qatar to capture
creative images of the processes and working relationship.

11. Texas A&M:
I have worked with the university on several occasions
to create their image library for their range of labs and
processes, and to capture staff corporate portraits.
Shooting lasers was definitely a technical challenge
and one of the coolest things I’ve done…apart from
the helicopter shoot!

20. I love working with people of all ages. It’s a challenge at times – especially with children – but I
enjoy the art of making people look their best and bringing out personalities. I use both artificial
and natural lighting to suit the nature of my subjects and the style they are looking for. I have done
portrait work in both commercial and family categories.
