Teaching Experience
September 2009 – December 2009. I taught part-time at ‘Huntingdonshire Regional College’
delivering a complete module in many aspects of location and studio photography to ND
Photography students, with an age range of 17 to 24 years. Some were placement students with
their own social difficulties, which initially were, quiet a challenge for such an inexperienced
lecturer.
However I found that, their interest in photography much improved when I tailoring the
photography experience to modern day financial applications. Once the financial benefits were
taken on-board, my students very quickly saw the benefits of good photographic practice.
My time at ‘Huntingdonshire Regional College’ was short, the full-time position never
materialised due to the deepening financial recession and lecturers wanting to remain in their
position.

think ahead and communicate effectively enables me to achieve maximum output in minimum
time, as well as handle a number of activities simultaneously.
Communication skills: My diverse range of experiences whilst working on location has enabled
me to acquire strong verbal and written communication skills. During my 12 years as a freelance
photographer I have been able to develop my interpersonal skills to a high level.
