I'm Liam and I'm the Curator & Host of 'Creative Conversations' a collection of creative conversations, with photographers, artists, film makers and generally people within the creative industry, speaking about their work and experiences that have got them to where they're today. I've been planning this for quite a few years now, as I think it's an amazing thing to be a part of. I would say the main inspiration for wanting to create this is, creating a platform for creatives to express their identity and share stories for others to hear and learn. I'm always looking to collaborate and interview more people, so don't hesitate to contact me!
