I have always had a great interest in nature and photography. During the higher education in Art and Design foundation course I tried my hand at photography and the darkroom process. That then lead me on to my interest in photography; subsequently this lead to me enrolling onto HND Photography course so I could gain more knowledge and skills. To increase my skills and chances of further employment I enrolled on a BA Honours Creative Imaging. My other interests also include taking videos and documenting various public events via videos whilst away and at home.
