Hello, Kia Ora & G'day!
I'm Alex, a creative from New Zealand now living in Essex, UK.
Originally from New Zealand, I fostered my love for all things photography when living in Far North Queensland, Australia. Shooting wildlife in tropical conditions challenged my creative scope and made me realise the key to the perfect shot is so much more than picking up the camera. I love to shoot all styles of photography and consider myself an all rounder - I love variety! Including but not limited to, wildlife, action shots for freelancers, events, head shots, small business & product shoots.
With a background or eight years in PA and administrative roles, alongside a degree in psychology, I also work on a freelance basis remotely, available worldwide or hybrid in person throughout London/Essex. I have experience in a range of industries including healthcare, engineering, accounting and aviation.
My training in psychology brings a unique point of view to both my photography and administrative work. There is nothing more rewarding than clients who previously hated photos of themselves who go to feeling confident and empowered by their new photos. I pride myself on my psychosocial skills and bring this into all aspects of my work.
No request is to big or small - If you have any queries, I would love to hear from you!
