I studied fine art all the way through school and college and picked up photography at high school. I received my photography degree with honours in 2009 after studying for three years in the heart of Nottingham. After a short period of work experience locally at home in Dorset, I started managing a small photography studio in my hometown of Dorchester. Here I produced family portraits and product/advertising photographs for local businesses and learnt the skills I use today. I now work completely freelance, specialising in family portraiture and photography for local businesses and events.
