Personal and professional objectives
I have always had an active interest in photography, and in
addition, the possibilities different medias offer. I am especially
interested in digital techniques and the use of computers
within the field of photography. I am a dedicated, hard working, enthusiastic individual
who is able to work well both independently and as part
of a team, combining a friendly, positive attitude with
a good sense of humour. Though I realise the advantages
associated with working with people who take a similar approach
to imaging, I am also aware of the benefits connected with
working alongside those who take a differing and perhaps
conflicting approach to photography.
Personally I strive to find and complete new challenges whilst
my primary objective professionally is to continue to develop
my creative ability and expand upon my existing knowledge
of photography as a whole. Consequently I aim to utilise both
my professional and personal experiences to create original
and unconventional images.
