Photography and Film are my biggest passions!
I got really interested in photography when I took my Dad's camera into our garden and started taking photographs of flowers. I enjoyed getting close up to the flowers and capturing rain drops that had fallen on the leaves. Since then, (about 2011) I persuaded my parents to buy me my own DSLR camera and I now have a Canon 1100D. I've even got lenses and filters that I love to experiment with!
I'm currently studying Photography at college which I really enjoy as this year we have to complete a critical investigation that we've chosen. Without a brief, it seems pretty vague and at first I didn't know what topic to choose because you could do just about anything. I chose to investigate churches because I love the beauty and joy that they bring. I wish I could photograph weddings, maybe that is what I'll do in the future...who knows?
I love film - watching films and making them. I enjoy the theory behind the production and the process of brainstorming ideas and story boarding before putting it together and showing it as a successful film. I'm currently studying Media at college and hoping to study Film and Television at university as I would love to become a producer or work on the cameras. Recently, I went to an open day at the University of Bedfordshire and I directed the short film that we had to make about the course. I loved being "thrown in at the deep end" knowing that the five of us would be able to produce a film after knowing each other for about fifteen minutes!
Two of my short films are on my YouTube channel which I am really proud of. They were the first films I was asked to make at college. I want to continue making films for myself but it's hard to find time in between college and my personal life. It's definitely something I'm planning to make time for in 2015 as making films is something that makes me truly happy.
