About
Adaptable, organized production professional with hands-on set experience as a PA, unit photographer, stand-in, and background performer on an international feature film shoot, combined with a photography and video production background running my own creative business. Comfortable wearing multiple hats in fast-paced environments, coordinating logistics, and supporting producers and crew to keep a shoot moving. Fully available for the full production window and eager to grow into a production role on an independent genre film.
Experience
Production Assistant / Photographer / Stand-In / Background at Suresh Cedrick Productions (2025-08 – 2025-08)
On-location shoot in Ireland — one-week production block
- Supported producers and crew across four roles (PA, unit photographer, stand-in, background) during an intensive on-location shoot, adapting quickly to whatever the day required.
- Shot unit and behind-the-scenes photography alongside general set logistics, cast/crew coordination, and production support, working around the camera department without disrupting takes.
- Gained first-hand exposure to how an independent production runs day-to-day — call times, set etiquette, and the pace of a working film set.
- Worked effectively as part of a small, tight-knit crew under real production pressure — reliable, professional, and ready to problem-solve on the spot.
Owner / Operator at Saunders Gallery (2024-12 – Present)
Self-Employed
- Plan and liaise directly with clients and charities to deliver photographic and video content on time and on brief — running the project management, scheduling, and client communication myself.
- Manage lighting, audio, and camera setups on shoot days, and handle admin, invoicing, and compliance (tax and GDPR).
Digital Content Creative at Urban Gym (2023-10 – 2026-01)
- Planned, shot, and edited promotional video content to support sales and brand engagement.
- Built detailed content and shoot-day plans, and coordinated with local businesses to produce collaborative content.
