It is July 2013 and I have spent the last academic year studying BA(Hons) Marine & Natural History Photography at Falmouth University. This involved diving with seals, surveying beaches, photographing microscopic samples of houseflies and capturing footage of foxes at dawn.

Unfortunately, it took all of these fantastic experiences for me to realise I was doing the wrong degree. Do not be mistaken, as I enjoyed every element of the projects I worked on but at no point could I say it was driven by raw passion, just the drive to succeed.

So this summer has seen me consider where I went wrong and what it is I should do to make it right. So I made a photography website, which would only show images I felt comfortable showing, in mind that I needed to step back and look at the bigger picture. By doing this, I discovered that in fact, what comes much more naturally to me and a camera is documentary work. More specifically, street photography and editorial work – storytelling.

So in September 2013, I am delighted to announce I will be studying BA(Hons) Press & Editorial Photography at Falmouth University.
