About

Hi, My name is Jada and I graduated this year with a BA in Photography from the Arts University Bournemouth. During this both academic and practical course, I have experimented with a range of digital and analogue cameras, as well as having gained extensive experience using the darkroom and digital facilities. By studying at AUB, I have collaborated with different creative courses to amplify my knowledge of this visual medium and support my experience in photography with other related fields, such as film and media production and graphic design. Thanks to my studies I have gained a better understanding of the core of the photography industry. Recently, I have worked as a set photographer for several student short films, which enhanced my technical skills and improved my interpersonal skills working within both large and small teams. I have also gained strong technical skills in editing and using software such as Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Whilst studying my undergraduate course, I have worked as a student ambassador for the university. This role refined my communication skills with young students by assisting to deliver photography workshops and art classes to a range of ages from primary school through to sixth form. I taught a variety of subjects relating to the arts in different forms to schools across the UK, working with the AUB team to develop my teaching skills and planning for workshop sessions. I also gained experience as a Photography assistant for a family business during my studies, where I assisted the lead photographer with lighting, setting up and technical duties. I was involved in ensuring the shoot ran smoothly and the client was contended with the outcome. This position also required physical work such as carrying equipment from locations and standing long hours during photo shoots. I have learnt many useful techniques in assisting and also creating artwork.
