Additional information:
My very first job was as a photographer, for Kaman's Art Shoppes at King's Island. Specifically, I worked in the "Antique Photos" shop, responsible for sales, merchandise, and of course, photographing guests.
Since then I have gone on to work as a professional nightclub photographer during my time living in Swansea, Wales, and in the film industry as a Camera Operator and Assistant.
