Why Photography?

I chose to begin studying photography at sixteen. I completed a National Diploma in Photograph between September 2009 and June 2011. But my passion for Photography started at a young age.
When I was about four/five my Dad gave me a brightly coloured fisher price film camera I was attached to it, it came everywhere with me and I took photo’s all the time. I enjoyed art all through school and it was the only time I felt relaxed and myself. I left secondary school with a GCSE grade A in Art and Design. Whilst looking at colleges I believed I wanted to be a forensic photographer, however when I saw the facilities at Kings Lynn college I decided that I wanted to look into all aspects of photography rather than going straight into forensic science. My National Diploma gave me a taste of photography and made me realise that I wanted to continue my education and make my hobbie my career. So I decided I to do my degree. As I was born in Plymouth I decided that I would like to move back and in doing so I would be able to get to know some of my family better. So the College of Art was the next step for me.
After starting the course in September 2011 I really enjoyed photography, but then at the end of October my Nan became critically ill and unfortunately passed away early November. Since then I have managed to complete my photography briefs, however I haven’t enjoyed them as much as I think I should. I need to get my love of photography back and begin to shoot more often, I am determined to enjoy photography again.
