My inspiration for this piece was artist GMB Akash. He works with portraits and the idea of ‘telling a story’ through his images. In my work, I have taken photos of a variety of objects, in connection to things we might take for granted, and positioned them next to other objects. I have chosen this piece as the strongest in the series and encourage the viewer to create their own narrative.

What have I learnt from this course?

During my course, I have learnt various camera techniques, research and lighting setups. These are some of the things that I will continue using in the future.

What is my advice for anyone joining the course?

The advice I would give to someone starting this course is to always have your work backed up in different places and make sure it’s accessible. From September, I will be progressing onto Salford University.
