I am a recent Photography graduate from the University of Cumbria and currently serve as the Artist in Residence for the upcoming year. I specialise in portrait, landscape and documentary photography, inspired by my love for walking in the Lake District and being in the natural environment. I’m drawn to others, particularly to support and encourage creativity through group projects and technical skills learning. I am well motivated to learn and will do more than expected, pushing myself to my full potential. Outside photography, I have a strong interest in reading, primarily mystery and thriller.…I am a recent Photography graduate from the University of Cumbria and currently serve as the Artist in Residence for the upcoming year.
