Taking pictures has been a major part of my life, and I am forever consumed with answering the question: Why is that image so compelling? From early childhood has been a constant passion and interest. I spent my early college years studying business, finance and IT and eventually working in Retail in various managerial roles.

​

After over 20 years of working in Retail, at the beginning of 2019, I decided to follow my dreams and pursue a photography career. I embarked on studying an HNC Photography course at West Lancashire College. Here, I was lucky enough to meet some like-minded people and be taught by one inspirational tutor who would open my eyes to the world of art and design. 

 

Currently, I am studying a BA (Hons) Photography course at the University of Bolton. I have gained experience in studio lighting, darkroom, critical writing and working on location. I also have skills using Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, Premiere Rush and Premiere Pro.

​

More recently, I completed a work placement at the University of Bolton involving the delivery of photography workshops to six form students. I enjoyed this immensely, and this has inspired me to start pursuing a career in teaching. 

​

My aim is one day is to share my passion for photography with others.
