Consultancy & Services

Image Management

A past manager of the Colorific photo agency, as well as Head of the National Trust Photographic Resource and Services, I am happy to advise on the building, maintaining and commercial exploitation of image assets.

Within five years at the National Trust I had built its image bank from an internal library into a highly commercial asset.

I have considerable experience of both historic and contemporary collections, and of constructing brand values via emotive, high quality, high impact imagery.

Exhibitions Services

I provide a fully independent curatorial and project management service.

I specialise in the creation and running of photographic exhibitions. My curatorial experience began with a show called New Vision at the Association of Photographers showcasing a range of contemporary art photography held by the National Trust.  Since then I have commissioned and curated 3 widely acclaimed exhibitions. The most recent being the award winning Exposed, Climate Change in Britain’s Backyard.

Providing a wide array of museum and exhibition preparation services, I can offer organisations the flexibility of holding valuable image-building exhibitions without the need to maintain a permanent staff resource. My services cover initial conceptualisation, curatorial research, commissioning and management of art materials, venue and touring negotiation, co-ordination of exhibition design, touring, publication design and publishing (both in print and electronic media), as well as follow-up services of digital imaging, mounting framing, crating and transportation.
