About

I started to have an interest in photography when I lived in Spain, at the time I was only 12 years old and buying a DSLR was quite pricey, so to begin with I used a simple point and shoot and tried my best. As I got older there wasn't really any courses in any colleges or schools in my area, they didn't really have the funds to kit students out with camera's and the appropriate equipment, so I pleaded my father If I could move back to the UK. I am now in my second year of college studying Film and Media Production at the Brit School of Performing Arts and Technology, I have A* grades both in GCSE Media and Photography and I have recently been accredited with a Distinction in AS Photography. I am confident with using Digital and 35mm set-ups and I am currently delving into 120 film too. During my AS course I was taught how to set up lighting for studio shoots and to use Lightroom and Photoshop for retouching purposes. Now I am looking to get my foot into the door as I will be finishing college soon and university doesn't sound ideal to me.
