Do get in touch to discuss your project requirements, large or small and I will get back as to asap!

I am a creative and highly experienced media researcher, specialising in picture research, art direction and media research, with a background and BA (Hons) degree in photography. I source, clear and commission photos, videos and audio content for any project, small business and for publishing clients.

My strong project management skills enable delivery of high-quality media research for any project. I have a proven track record of commissioning creative assets and sourcing the best, creative media possible within time and budget for publishers, picture agencies, independent businesses and large retailers.

I have over 27 years’ experience in liaising effectively with picture agencies, production companies, freelancers, suppliers and photographers — all of whom I now have as contacts.
