Current position and base (organization, company, etc.)

Freelance photographer living and working in Bristol

Biography

I have just finished my degree at Newport University where I studied documentary photography. Alongside this, I have been developing my commercial photography skills outside university by working as a photography assistant for several local photographers experiencing many aspects of professional work from portraiture, studio and fashion shoots to managing lighting, props, equipment, set design and dealing with clients. It has been really interesting to push both my own work and my commercial photograph to give me a broad base of skills and experience to launch my career in the industry. My recent personal project ‘Constructed Childhoods’, explores the impact of images surrounding children - images that allow children to construct ideas about the ‘ideal’ life. In April I received the Regional Salisbury Award to continue with this project and in May I won the Royal Photographic Society under-25 print competition with one of the prints. I have exhibited previous work at Cardiff, Wales in a collective exhibition and will be exhibiting my latest project in the exhibition ‘27’ at Candid Arts in London.

Specialities & interests

I have developed my skills as a creative, investigative photographer through my personal projects focussing on ideas and issues that I feel strongly about. I have focused on a mixture of reportage, set-up environmental portraits, studio portraits and studio still life shoots.
