Me

Here you will find some information about the skills I can offer, and a bit more about this site and myself.

I’m currently the News Reporter for Future Publishing’s photography portfolio, mainly working on TechRadar, the UK’s number one technology website but also across PhotoRadar, Digital Camera, PhotoPlus and Practical Photoshop.

I’m also a working freelance, and have had my work published in a variety of outlets including LoveFood,  The Guardian, Official Windows Magazine, Wales Business Insider, Digital Camera, SFX, PhotoPlus, LoveMoney, Triathlon Plus, Glamour, Saga Online, BBC Focus Magazine, Real Travel and Britain Magazine.  See my clippings section to read some of my work.

Not content with wordsmithery, I’m also a photographer, with work published in several magazines and websites, along with ongoing photography projects such as the Cardiff Arcades Project that has seen me published in The Guardian, appear on Welsh television and radio stations and be featured in several magazines and websites. I am available for photography commissions ranging from portraits, food and product photography and much more – visit the photography gallery to get a sense of my style and contact me if you’d like to discuss anything.

After completing an undergraduate degree in journalism, I went on to study for the postgraduate diploma from Cardiff Journalism School, graduating in 2009. During my time there I was the news editor, columnist and photographer on our course magazine and website, MADE.

Some important journo skills I have (for potential employers, and to show off):

• NCTJ Shorthand 100wpm and typing 100wpm.
• Working knowledge of InDesign, Photoshop and Microsoft Office.
• Trained in media law and public administration.
• Multi-platform skills: feature writing, shooting and editing audio and video (mainly for web), news writing, using a CMS, subbing and layout.
• Optimising copy for web, SEO and social-networking
• Tech and online -savvy – I’m a massive geek and I’ll try anything once.
