Hello, my name is Graeme. I am an actor and a photographer, I also write and direct a little too.
I learned about HIVE two days ago whilst walking in my local park. My partner bumped into a parent of a child she used to mind and we started to chat, then crypto came up, then HIVE, and from there my interest grew. signed up that very same day and here I am.
I am already very excited to part of the community, to offer my support to other creators, and to share my own creative work on the blockchain.
My tag is , if you care to support me.
Me
Previous to following my creative path, I worked as an engineer specializing in automation and access control. I am a qualified electrician and also skilled in mechanics and fabrication.
I fell in love with photography while studying and training as an actor. My initial intention was to use my newly bought Canon 600d (Rebel T3i) for shooting self-tape auditions but as I learned how to use the camera I began to develop a passion for capturing images, especially people. I then used this new skill I was honing to offset the financial side of my creative life as an actor.
Onset for a short film I wrote and directed named, "Feathers"
Now 5 years on from that initial investment of my camera, I have upgraded all of my equipment and also have a small photography studio. I have grown a small business taking headshots for actors and working with models to create unique images and I'm also lucky enough to work as an actor in a very competitive industry, securing work in both theatre and screen.

I first became interested in blockchain tech back in 2017 when first hearing of bitcoin. I extensively researched and the more I learned about the fundamentals of blockchain, the deeper my interest became. For me, it echoed my belief in a fair society, free of governance and corruption and it sent my mind into overdrive, daydreaming of a decentralized world and mapping ways of improving the lives of everyone on the planet.
