Skillset

Over the last few years I have been developing both my photography and camerawork skills, both inside of my academic life and out. This has included completing a GCSE, taking it for a unit as part of my Creative Digital Media Diploma and pursuing photography in my free time including photoshoots for a band.  I have also learnt how to use photoshop effectively and whilst I wouldn't call myself an expert I like to think that I am proficient in it's use.

I have chosen to take BA Honours Photography course at Sheffield Hallam University. The pre-requisite for this course is 96 -112 Ucas Points.

Access To Equipment Due to UTC Sheffield being a technical college I received access to a large amount of equipment. We were given all access to Canon 750D camera with a variety of lenses, as well as Apple Macs which all featured multiple editing softwares (though I mostly used photoshop). We were also given access to equipment like tripods and larger lights that could be attached to cameras. Work I have created for my portfolio I...
