INTERESTS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
I have a keen interest in photography. In my frist year of college I Studied photography and was immidiately
hooked onto it. I bought my own DSLR camera, lenses, other equipment and accessories and still use a majority of
the money I earn on adding to my equipment. More specifically I like to do landscape photography with a keen
interest to learn about night photography. I enjoy creating time lapse images using long exposures and collating the
images on photoshop to create a sense of time on a still image. I have created some work that I have been paid for
previously, for example I have taken photos of local family companies that have been started up and they used me
to take the images to use on their either websites or leaflets to publicise their brand. Moreover I was used as a
second wedding photographer for a close family member alongside an actual wedding photographer oh who i
leanrt alot from just watching and seeing how they moved, how they framed shots and what kits they used. More
recently, I have tried my hand at filming aswell as photography. This is a new world for me because the scope of
difference between filming and photo taking is a whole different type. However being enrolled on the Level 3 BTEC
Media course I have already learnt alot in a short little time which is down to my eagerness to learn in this subject
area. This is shown in my first ever coursework for my course which was creating a production of an Advert of a
product of any choice and filling out Pre-Production notes that were then carried across to the filming production. I
directed, filmed and even acted in some scenes. I felt that I done very well during this unit, and this was shown by

2. gaining both a distinction in Pre Production and Production notes. The way i see it is that I can only get better from
here with the skills i've learnt already in a short amount of time. I also have a large interest in football and its
something I've always wanted to bring my camera into and get a few photos of usually undocumented images. But
due to rights and regulations implimented Its almost impossible to bring my DSLR Camera into any stadium.
However this does not deter my heavy interest in football as a whole, with me finding myself to go to every home
game of Manchester United as possible and to as many away games as possible.
