The Value of Time

29 f 15

Freelancers are aware of the challenges they face in managing time, and most of us acknowledge that time is a valuable resource. Despite this, time is often squandered.  Perhaps this is because time feels amorphous and can be difficult to quantify. I have been both freelance and a company director for the majority of my […]

Simply B ‘Spring’ Advert

Another advert with the director Karen Lamond.  We shot this in three second bursts.  The girls needed to be in sync at times hence the need for a choreographer.  At the same time, they needed to look improvised and playful.  I think we achieved this.  Anyway, it’s a quirky little spot and the girls look […]
