CV

I have had a love of photography for over twenty years. I was initially an enthusiastic amateur and took images for fun, family and friends. As my confidence and my abilities increased, I decided to do a part-time photography course whilst working as a community nurse. I qualified from Richmond Upon Thames college in 1999, obtaining a BTEC National Diploma in Design (Photography).

Experience

My first job once qualified was as a photographer for the Kings Cross News and I have since worked as:

• Wedding photographer
• Portrait photographer
• Cataloguing local artists work
• On the books of "The Art Group" who produce cards and posters

My main love though is producing evocative, intriguing or relaxing images that people enjoy, so I am now focussing on exhibiting and in the future producing cards and posters.
