Graduation

Wow, it's been a while since i've written anything on here! But that will change now, as i've just finished my course and now have a foundation degree in photography! This means i'll have a lot more free time to talk about recent shoots and anything which might even remotely relate to photography.

Anyway, i'll talk a little bit about graduation and my past 2 years. The past few years have been really helpful for me, studying at Newcastle College. The course was designed to give you the skills and the knowledge to start your own photographic business up, and make sure you're able to go straight out and get work. Having people from the industry has helped loads too. Actually getting a professional outlook on how the industry works was really insightful. 

Not only that but i've made a lot of close friends, and met a lot of very skilled photographers on my course who i will be keeping in contact with, no doubt! I've also met a lot of people from other art disciplines such as fashion design, graphics, and illustration, thanks to the course which made us work together during the years just as you would in the industry.

Anyway! Graduating with a foundation degree was a big step for me, and i have learned so much. There was one thing i wasn't expecting when i was graduating and that was getting a special mention for my work in the National Geographic Traveller magazine (My next blog will be on that). To summarise, the past two years has given me the skills and the drive to decide what area of photography i want to go into, and the knowledge that i can be successful. 1 more year of hard graft to get my BA Hons degree, then into the wide world.
