I am a mature student based in the West Midlands currently studying towards a BA Honours degree in Visual Communication at Birmingham City University. I wish to gain experience within the Commercial, Fashion & Portraiture areas of the industry and currently seeking possible employment and opportunities to assist professional working Photographers throughout the summer. I hold a full driving licence and therefore willing to travel.
In 2005 I attended a part time Edexcel course on the basics of photography. I decided to rethink my career and quit my factory job where I worked for ten years to attend a two year HND course. Having passed the course in 2008 with distinction grades in most areas I felt the drive to start studying towards a BA qualification.
Throughout the courses which I have attended, I have managed to pick up various skills with different media types including digital and film. I also developed a good range of lighting and editing techniques. I am a very reliable and outgoing person with a keen attitude towards any given job. I always aim to do what ever tasks are given me to the best of my ability creating a happy and joyful atmosphere for all those around me. I am also able to pick up new and older techniques quickly such as equipment and software.
Although I have a lot of experience in the academic range I believe the only true learning experiences are to get out there and experience it for yourself and I have always jumped at great opportunity’s that come my way.
Film Experience : Large Format,Medium Format,35mm
Lighting Experience : Tungsten,Strobe,Elinchrom,Bowens

I have been published in various publications such as Insomnia Magazine, Devoloution Magazine, Red Scream Magazine and the BBC News website. These have featured my work in areas such as fashion, Roller Derby (sports) and live music events.
