About Me
I'm deaf from birth and always have to rely on sign language and lip-reading to be connotative of what people say to me. I possess a decent speaking power and have no problem with what people understand to what I say.
As a Photography student I have been studying
photography both digital and traditional film printing for the past 7
years. During my first year at College,
I carried out a module based round analogue and printing, following this module
I expanded on my photography course and included academic writing as an
additional area of study. I have been lucky enough to be taken on as an achiever
assistant by a well-known Fashion photographer, Mark Lebon. Whilst working as an assistant to the owner,
I have gained vital experience to work within this field as well as having the
opportunity to show my skills as a second camera.
As a photography student I enjoy photographing
interiors as well as portraiture, and have worked under a number of large
organisations both in England and abroad as a photographer. My ambitions are to establish my own
photography business within the next year and compete alongside the seasonal
professionals.
Photography has always been such a huge part of my
life. I've always tried to capture the perfect feeling, compassion and drama
through a picture. Even before I started taking my own pictures, I've always
been intrigued by other photos, past photos and then visualised them and
memorised it. Pictures tell a wonderful and sad story through which you can
travel to your past and I believe you can capture true emotion on a piece of
paper. Nothing makes me happier than to witness the look on your face when you
visualise the images that I have captured. My goal for you is to remember those
exact feeling every time you look at the photo. I love working with people and
taking the decisive moments of people everyday life – it gives me satisfaction
on a personal level. At this point of my life, I don't ever want to take that
away.
Photography to me right now is just a way to escape
reality and the daily routine. I feel a great deal of happiness when I'm in the
outdoors shooting, because it is my own time and I get to enjoy it, spend it
the way I want.
