Photography is a massive part of my life. I got my first camera for my 6th birthday and it has been ongoing ever since. It was heightened by everything I learned and gained from doing A level photography, especially the skills I learnt from the experimentation and fun you can have in the dark room. In particular I especially love black and white photography as I think that it’s so much more striking and lets me create a bold statement.
My love of travel has also given me the opportunity to photograph extraordinary places, people and things, allowing me to use the basic skills I have picked up over the years. You can also have a great time taking pictures of all the stuff around you every day. My A level tutor taught me a lot as he had a whole exhibition, which was based around discarded plastic bags in canals, which was amazing. This love of photographing specific aspects of things has developed over the years, especially with trying to portray people’s characters from a still shot. I realize that I have lots to learn but all of it is fun and it is great with digital camer
as to be able to take loads of photos and throw away all the bad ones before anyone else can see them!
I’ve always believed that you should look where everyone else isn’t when you are behind the lens of a camera. When visiting Paris I remember being in a church looking out a side door and seeing the backstreets of Paris, rather than the intricate interior, which allowed me to take a picture of something that your average tourist doesn’t see.
I have set up a portfolio of some of my work which can be viewed at:
