KM] How did you find out about KhaoZ Media and how did you get started with the group?
JS] Whilst cruising the net one day in late November 2010, I discovered a shout out for a photographer to document the Human Rights Awards 2010, which is quite a prestigious event. I emailed the group, got myself involved and, because everyone at KhaoZ is so cool, I’ve been with them ever since.
KM] What skills did you initially bring to KhaoZ Media and which ones did you pick up?
JS] Initially, I came on board as a photographer but, having done film at uni, I was eager to get behind a film camera and also do some editing. In the months that followed I’ve acted as cameraman, illustrator, editor and soon to be an animator too.
KM] Apart from your work with KhaoZ Media, what other things do you do?
JS] I’m currently working on several independent projects, which include an animated music video, an illustrated children’s book and some freelance web design work.
When I’m not doing these, I’m working at a cosmetics shop in the city centre which makes me smell ‘amazing‘.
KM] How would you describe KhaoZ Media in a few words?
JS] “Friendly, fun, inclusive and….. awesomeriffic.”
