My interest in photography began during my time at school. I had a great introduction to traditional techniques and found this to be a great form of expression for myself. I learned to work within the dark room and I found this process to be my main pull towards photography. I enjoy traditional methods of producing images and as a result the majority of my work was film based during this time.
Through out my course I experimented with a variety of styles and techniques, I found I enjoyed photographing people within my work and spent a large part of my A level course working within the studio.
Although I look back now and see the crudity in a large part of my work, I feel that I learnt a great deal over this time and it has formed the basis to my work to date.
A lot of my inspiration over this time came form commercial photography, shoots form magazines and advertisements were my only real experience with photography and the visual arts. I was unaware of contemporary photography and the work that was being done by so many.
