I am currently working as a staff nurse in Intensive Care and really love my job.  Alongside this most of my spare time is taken up with my hobby of photography which I have been interested in for many years now.

I have previously used my photographic skills to participate in a charity event.  I organised a photo shoot, and was the photographer and the photos were used to produce a calendar which raised £2000 for a local hospice.  More recently, I have taken my hobby further by photographing a friend's wedding.  I was approached by them to be the main photographer and was apprehensive at first, but reluctantly agreed.  When I reviewed the results I was really pleased.  The feedback from them was excellent and this has increased my confidence greatly. 

I have undertaken several courses on the subject of photography, the most recent course being a short course BTEC in photography at Kirklees College in Dewsbury.  The course was based around 2 units.  The first was based in the studio and incorporated photographing the object and portraiture, and the second was based out of the studio setting and incorporated photography on location.

I achieved distinctions for both units.  I have built up an extensive portfolio of work including, still life, portraiture, landscape and seascape.  This work includes several techniques including slow shutter speeds, low light photography and even HDR.  I am adept in the use of photography editing programs such as Photoshop and Lightroom and use these on a regular basis.

I am very proud of my photography and the results I have gained so far, and now relish the opportunity to share some of these images with you on this website.
