ABOUT

My name is Jordan Colborne I am a 25-year-old graduate from the University of Chichester looking to kick start a full-time career within the media industry.

 

I am a hardworking, reliable and flexible employee. My proactive attitude helps me excel when working alone and as part of a team. I take pride in solving problems efficiently to maximise my success rate whilst being in high pressure situations. My time management skills have been essential whilst working at events at Goodwood. I was employed as a freelance go pro runner and personal assistant for Engage Digital Partners whilst working at motorsport events such as Revival, Members Meeting, Festival of Speed and Forza Horizon XBOX launch. Roles included attaching Go Pro’s to vehicles to provide video footage for Goodwood TV and working alongside directors whilst they created short slow-motion video content for clients. 

 

Currently, I am a freelance sports photographer. My most recent work was for Pompey in the Community consisting of taking photographs of their mascots match day experience for the company’s socials and also for clients. I am also a member of Sports Press Photo, a photography agency, specialising in women's football such as the Women's Super League and the Women's FA Cup. The teams I have taken photos for include Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton & Hove Albion, Everton FC, Reading FC, Bristol City, Leicester FC, Southampton FC and Portsmouth FC. Using the drive of my own initiative has been crucial throughout my time as a match day photographer across the south coast as it allows me to assess critical decisions to provide the optimal solution.

 

I graduated with a BA Hons Sport Media degree in 2020 after pursuing a career within the media industry. During my time at Chichester I have worked alongside local clubs including Chichester City FC, AFC Portchester and multiple sports clubs within the university. The content I have produced featured regularly in a local newspaper the Chichester Observer and has also been published in the Mirror, the Star, BBC, Copa 90 and more. Whilst photography was my most predominant role within these clubs I also have a strong working knowledge of video production including filming and editing. One short clip I captured for Chichester City reached over 50,000 views on Twitter and was also used by the BBC, BT Sport and Copa 90.

 

I have worked within the retail industry at Tesco for the past six years during education which has taught me outstanding communication and people skills. I am an enthusiastic, adaptable and self-motivated worker with an eagerness to over exceed any task assigned. In the past year, I have taken on a supervisor role resulting in being given the opportunity to take more responsibility and support a small group of employees.
