There are many benefits to spending nearly six years at an art college. One of the biggest, if not THE biggest benefit, is the different amount of people I have met studying different creative fields. A very good friend of mine, Lorien Matthews, is currently studying her 2nd year in Photography and, as part of her Work Based Learning, wanted to take photos of people connecting to their professional practices. I'm currently studying my Final Major Project, and one of the requirements is to think about self-promotion techniques post-degree. I thought it'd work really well to have some professional pictures of me and/or a piece of my work that I could use for this blog, my Facebook page and perhaps a new updated website.
After a range of shoots, in which I struggled to keep a straight face - I'm really NOT a serious person - I selected some of my favourite photos that Lorien took and she has just sent me the finished pieces, and I am VERY happy. So, without further ado... Ta-da!
Please feel free to check out Lorien's work:
She's a damn good photographer, especially if she can make MY ugly mug look professional!
