Joe

I was born in BOW in THE EAST END OF LONDON and I’ve been a PROFESSIONAL PHTOTGRAPHER for many years covering ROYALTY, PRESS, CORPORATE/ SOCIAL EVENTS, STUDIO AND LOCATION PORTRAITURE AND LANDSCAPES.Major sporting and Royal Charity events such as the WIMBLEDON TENNIS FORTNIGHT, CELEBRITY PRO-AM GOLD TOURNAMENTS, FOOTBALL TOURNAMENTS, THE ROYAL VARIETY SHOWS, SAVE THE CHILDREN WITH THE PRINCESS ROYAL, AND ROYAL FILM PREMIERS have all featured in my professional work.Over a period of approx.: 3 years I was a REPORTAGE PHOTOGRAPHER on various European and WORLD LUXURY CRUISES recording and documenting the life & time of the staff and passengers, showing both sides of life on board a luxury cruise.In the 90’s I spent some TIME IN PR/MARKETING with the GIANT MECCA LEISURE GROUP. This meant working AS A TEAM on their BIG Corporate and SOCIAL eventsI’ve held NUMEROUS EXHIBITIONS, to HELP RAISE MONEY FOR VARIOUS CHARITIES most notably the highly acclaimed collection “ IMAGES OF BRITAIN “ held in LONDON'S SOHO IMAES GALLERY. This exhibition was made up of POWERFUL, EVOCATIVE BALCK AND WHITE images with locations ranging from LONDON, ESSEX, KENT AND THE NORTH EAST OF ENGLAND. Many of the CITYSCAPES, SEASCAPES, AND DOCKLAND AREAS were shot before RE-DEVELOPMENT. Many of the captured scenes have completely disappeared entirely in some of the most deprived areas of Britain.2001 I started work on a UNIQUE MONOCHROME/ SELENIUM TINT photographic book called “ ICONS OF LONDON”, it was to fuse together ICONS FROM THE HARD WORLD OF THE GANSTER WITH FAMOUS ICONIC LONDON LOCATIONS.INFAMOUS names from the 4 CORNERS OF LONDON, such as FREDDIE FORMAN, ROY SHAW, TONY LAMRIANOU, LAURIE O'LEARY, CHARLIE RICHARDSON, DAVE COURTNEY, BRUCE REYNOLDS AND FRANKIE FRASER to name but a few were to be photographed against some of LONDONS MOST FAMOUS BACKDROPS.The TOWER OF LONDON, TOWER BRIDGE, LONDON BRIDGE, THE MINT, BUCKINGHAM PALACE, WESTMINSTER, THE BLIND BEGGER even the warship The HMS Belfast etc: were just some of the LOCATIONS that were to be photograph. UNFORTUNATELY and SADLY with the UNTIMELY DEATH of both TONY LAMBRIANOU and LAURIE O'LEARY meant the book was NEVER TO BE. I've now CHANGED MY COMPANY into a COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY, because I'm totally COMMITTED TO RAISING EXTRA FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOLS.My qualities are: I'M VERY CONFIDENT IN CONVERSTAION 100% HONEST & LOYAL  COMFORTABLE WORKING IN ANY SURROUDINGS  VERY HAPPY TO WORK AS A TEAM PLAYER OR OWN MY OWN I'M USED TO WORKING TO UNDER PRESSURE EVEN "WITH A SMILE" EXCELLENT AT TIMEKEEPING  WILL GET THE "JOB DONE WITHOUT ANY FUSS!Profile Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0
