More about Neville J....
What do you love about your job?
The three pillars of my working life, Advertising, Travel and Photography are linked by my passion for purposeful storytelling. I aim to entertain, inform and inspire. There are millions of worthy stories waiting to be told. I enjoy discovering and revealing those stories, regardless of whether the audience is hundreds of thousands or just one person.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
I have photographed African wildlife is difficult conditions, portraits on location in China, models in studio and street, corporate headshots, product shots etc. Mostly I look for or create interesting light direction and quality. I try to do as much as reasonably possible in camera. I am also extremely proficient with Lightroom, Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects.

A fun fact about this photographer
I am a "slasher". This is the new term to describe Millennials' aspiration for variety in their everyday job. So I am a photographer/videographer/editor/photography tour leader/travel consultant/advertising agency director. But I'm not a Millennial. :-)
