Paid labour



Along with the projects documented on this website, which (you may be surprised to hear!) don’t tend to cover the rent, I also sell some of my time and experience to other artists and photographers.

I have helped people with simple website updates, built new sites from scratch using various templates, and written blog posts for artists. I have photographed, edited and produced PR material for artists and charities. In addition, I offer beginner workshops and mentoring focused on the role of generated images and large language models for visual artists, with more advanced sessions exploring the ethical and social implications. These have been delivered privately, through Photofusion and universities. I can also provide guidance with zine and digital publications. I have over a decade of experience working for individuals, small businesses, international commercial institutions, and charities, including Penguin Random House, Barclays Bank and British Land.

Rates begin at £60 PH (which includes preparation time). Long-term projects, half-day or full-day rates can be provided. Please note: while I can help plan a social media campaign, I do not offer social media management.

Sarah Deane, mentorship generative images, 2024 ongoing

The Artist Support Scheme Award has funded a valuable mentorship with Sarah-Jane Field, which has had a tremendous impact on my practice. Sarah-Jane has challenged my initial thinking and approach to AI, pushing me to see beyond simply filling gaps in my archive. Through regular sessions, she has provided critical feedback, introduced me to innovative AI techniques, and encouraged me to explore the full creative potential of this technology. Her guidance has been instrumental in shifting my perspective from using AI as a mere tool to seeing it as a collaborative partner in the creative process. This mentorship has not only improved my technical skills but has also deepened my conceptual understanding of AI's role in art and photography.


Website for Arun Misra, 2023 – ongoing

I was lucky to find Sarah-Jane Field. Sarah-Jane was brilliant, had a wonderful combination of technical skill and artistic talent and a deep knowledge of how social media could help in making my works more visible to others.

Sarah-Jane advised that a project plan was essential: a brief for the work, an outline of my vision, a menu structure, an outline for the pages and their purpose, a navigation structure etc. What followed next was the selection and preparation of images, writing and checking texts, and then developing and testing an aesthetic approach that would complement my work and have my ‘voice’. This for me was critical because the website had to reflect who I am as an artist. We tested the aesthetic look and feel as well as the ease of use with a small focus group of artists, and importantly, non-artists.
