I am Abbi, I am a professional Photographer. I graduated from the University of Salford in 2021, studying Photography and have really enjoyed getting stuck into the creative industry over the past few years. I am a very naturally creative person, and passionate about a career where I can express this and do something I love. I am very sociable and easy to get along with, I enjoy working with other people collaboratively, and am also confident working independently too. In my free time I enjoy going on long hikes with my crazy Border Collie Molly, taking my camera along with me to take pictures and make reels for Molly's TikTok account! Having left university I dove head first into a Graduate Photographer role at Barton Grange Garden Centre within their Marketing team. This role quickly developed into a full time role as Photographer, Content Creator and Marketing Assistant as I was then offered a full time contract! Since leaving university I have continued building my photography and content creation career, working in marketing teams, creating content for reels and social media campaigns, and developing skills across editing, design and storytelling. I am excited by new creative challenges and enjoy collaborating to bring ideas to life.
