Photography continues to guide me on an exciting journey, having already taken in stops at Bishop Auckland College – where I obtained DDD (Distinction) in the subject – as well as D*D*D*D* In BTEC Art at Secondary School. Yet it was from far humbler beginnings that I discovered my true passion for the art form. I have worked with photography since 2007 when I went to my cousins wedding, taking my own photographs I enjoyed it so much. I was more interested in the photographs, the lighting, and positions than the wedding itself.
As a teenager, I began taking photographs for art at my secondary school, taking photos of objects and life to study them in my drawings and paintings. In the end I was more indulged in the imagery than the work I was creating.
I have a unique sense of style, I love taking all kinds of photos from macro plants, to fashion portraiture. I love fashion photography the most and would love to endure that later in life as a career. Starting college made me see more work and more photographers, like Mario Testino and Nick Knight. They are both my inspiration and favourite photographers, looking through their work helps me create my own.
When it comes to my photography and photograph series I'm eclectic, I can derive ideas, styles and so on from a range of diverse sources.
I also do a lot of my own editing using the latest Photoshop, I have a lot of computer skills and have had a lot of experience on editing with Photoshop. Gaining an A* in IT at secondary school helped me to work with all formats from Windows XP, Vista, Macs And Windows 7 & 8. I currently work with Windows 8.1 and Photoshop CS6.
I have skills in Manual photography, taking the images, developing film and photographs in the darkroom. I have DD in Darkroom Photography and a years experience with a professional (Tutor). I love the process of darkroom photography and its shame its phasing out, I was lucky to try it at my college. I love how the photographs come out they look so vintage and I adore the strong blacks and the whites in them.
Because photography is my passion, what I live for; I wont ever give up on it.
My Photos Aren't "Amazing/Good" Because Of My Camera. Or The Type Of camera Or How Much it Cost. Its Because of Me, The User. Because of My Experience, Skills And Qualifications. I Always Say Its Not The Tools That Makes Someone Good, Its The Person Using Them. So If You Think " Oh I'll Get This Camera Or Get The One Shes Got Then I'll Be Good" You're Wrong. Don't Understand Why People Assume Its Camera Types Or Prices That Make You Good Enough To Be A "Photographer" The Amount Of Photos I've Seen People Do With Shit Cameras That Are Amazing Compared To Those Who Got 1000 Pound Camera. I Started With A 3mp Phone Camera And (Not To Be Big-Headed) But My Photos On Them Were As Good As The Ones I Have With My Nikon D5200, Because I Have A Gift Like Others Out There Who Have A True Passion To Be A Professional Photographer.
