Growing up photography has always been something that intrigued and fascinated me. I love experimenting with a camera and trying out different shots. Living in the peak district gives me endless breathtakingly beautiful landscapes to focus on. There is nothing I love more than heading out on a long walk with the dogs armed with a camera.
Before starting university I had had no formal photography training and knew very little about the technical aspect. One of the reasons Sheffield Hallam became my first choice was the vast resources and equipment in the photography department. I remember my excitement at discovering the camera library, realising you can book out cameras like a book fuelled my enthusiasm and yearning to know more.
Obviously the first block of workshops we were able to book onto I chose the photography workshop. I loved learning about film cameras, the dark room, developing, Photoshop and digital cameras. I was sad when the workshops came to an end but I felt I had more confidence to book out cameras and experiment with my new found skills.
sadly I haven't had much time since the first workshops to get experimenting and go out and take photos, but thankfully the latest set of workshops gave me my chance to refresh and to embrace photography again.
