About Jane Ackroyd

Freelance Picture Editor and Shoot Producer, looking for work, with strong experience working in newspapers, magazines and television publicity. Working across a wide range of subjects with excellent knowledge of picture libraries and PR agencies. I have managed and art directed photoshoots of all sizes and have strong contacts with photographers, stylists, locations and hair and makeup. I always keep calm under pressure and am happy juggling several projects simultaneously. As a Picture Publicist I have worked with the BBC, Lime Pictures and Netflix and have been responsible for producing high quality photography for Key Sets and episodics and managing special studio shoots for exclusive placements. I have developed creative concept ideas from initial production briefs, determining image style and message, commissioned photography, liaised with designers and taken these through to the final delivery to broadcaster. I have strong picture research skills with an excellent knowledge of picture libraries, agencies, PRs and awareness of copyright and licensing.
