Naturally self-motivated energetic inquisitive freethinker with strong values and ethics, experienced with analogue and digital photography; Elinchrom studio lighting; plus an abundance of transferab

Started a journey as a mature student and successfully gaining a first-class honours degree in ‘Photography in the Arts’, continued with a Masters of Arts`, Contemporary Dialogues, Photography degree.

After four plus years in fulltime education and several exhibitions later, I’m currently working on the development of my recent exhibited work, aiming to make it available to a wider audience with its current digital and human theme which may raise differing questions on several levels to various audiences.

Key words for my research areas:
Power; Control; Political; CCTV; Values & Ethics; Technology; Artificial Intelligence; Human Behaviour; Future; Social Media; Disruption;

Research underpins the development of my ideas and finished work, and continually looking for avenues to challenge my ideas and extend my skills and knowledge which often can be talks, discussions and collaborations.

If I have a plan its to learn more and make.
