Photography L3

I became passionate about photography during my final years at secondary school. I eventually want to run my own business and travel to different places to take photos. This year we’ve had guest speakers visit from different universities to talk about careers in the sector. After my course I will be attending the University of Cumbria to study Photography.

Since starting the Photography course I have become more confident in myself and my work, as well as becoming more vocal in discussions. John is an amazing tutor. He always makes sure that everybody knows what they are doing, as well as pushing people to the best of their abilities. The course has given me the opportunity to explore different areas of studio, darkroom and location photography as well as working with a range of different equipment.
