About me
I am currently studying BA (Hons) Interactive Arts at Manchester Metropolitan University. Starting out with the interest in photography, I have branched out and developed a passion for the moving image; videography, cinematography and TV & Film Production.
I am interested in the relationship between the still and the moving image and this is something I have been exploring within my contextual and creative practice. As a student of Interactive Arts – which is defined as a “dynamic, interdisciplinary course working across a wide range of creative practices.” - I have had the opportunity to collaborate with other students, professionals, have been involved with workshops with such professionals such as John Hegley and Hort Publishing. I have broadened my skills from video work to magazine publication and defined my own creative practice – discovering more meaning in my style of work.
I have skills within: Digital Photography, Videography, Scanography, Digitital Editing/retouching, Lighting, Black &White Film Darkroom, Colour Film Darkroom

Interactive Arts is defined as a “dynamic, interdisciplinary course working across a wide range of creative practices.” The course is a student led, extremely open course meaning to a student that it can be anything you want it to be. I have always been interested in Photography and Interactive Arts was my way of being able to explore this interest without having to attach myself to a specific line of work. Throughout my time here I have developed an interest for Cinematography and Videography I am currently working on a project centred on this interest. We hold several exhibitions per year, we are assessed through presentations of our work and I have collaborated with other students, professionals of entirely different mediums, have been involved with workshops with such professionals such as John Hegley and Hort Publishing. I have broadened my skills from video work to magazine publication and defined my own creative practice – discovering more meaning in my style of work.
