Mission Statement & HE Research

I am currently studying on a National BTEC Photography course at Riverside College the type of work I do is very broad and covers most areas of photography. My main focus of photography is fashion, advertising and editorial that I would like to focus on for future courses as well as a career.

At 17 I arranged with a newly opened organisation Access All Areas, which is based at the refurbished Queens Hall that is now known as The Studio, I volunteer to be their official photographer. This involves me photographing any gigs or productions that may happen at the venue and any advertising the venue or bands would need for poster, flyers ect. My work has also been used by a musician for his album art work and cover, for him to then sell.  With gaining more experience from shooting gigs, my name became known around my hometown and I began doing baby photo shoots for newly proud parents. Since then now age 18, I have done a Wedding, Location and Modelling Shoots.

I plan on going to university once i have finished my BTEC Photography course and have chosen my 5 top universities i would love to go to to...

  1. Newport Wales - Fashion and Advertising Photography
  2. Sussex - Fashion, Advertising and Editorial Photography
  3. Bolton - Photography
  4. Bournemouth- Photography
  5. London - Fashion Photography
I hope to be able to get the grades to be accepted to at least one of these universities, my main one is the one in Newport Wales that i would like to go to more that the others, as i really like the course from what i have read about it so far.

Photography is a profession I have looked upon with a high interest even from a young age. I have known throughout my life that a career, were I can express my creative imagination is what I seek and I believe that becoming a photographer will allow me to satisfy this desire.
