More about Fran F....
What do you love about your job?
I love the unpredictability. Every job is different and although my experience helps me to plan and predict certain things, surprises still happen and I love that!
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have done many different types of shoots in the past for a variety of clients - from individuals to global image agencies. I made them special by listening to my client's wishes and working hard to portray the subject in the best, yet still believable light.
