Tristan Findley Professional Resumé

Photography

p1000567Beginning as an amateur photographer with my Father's SLR, I quickly became interested in photography at a young age. While my first 35mm cameras were largely unremarkable, my photography hit a whole new never with the advent of Digital photography. From the first days of manual photography with my Fuji S7000, up to now with my Canon 7D, I have never lost the simple love of creating a beautiful photo, and sharing it with the world.

I have recently started contracting in the area of freelance photography, and have been lucky enough to land a recent job with After Dark Productions (a movie company in North London). I am hoping to find more work in a professional capacity so I can continue to build my portfolio, as well as develop my skills as a photographer.

While this page only contains a small sampling of my work, I feel these photos show a dynamic range of my previous works. For a larger sample of my work, please visit my online gallery.
