My first ever portfolio

There came a time when I was in year 11 to consider what I wanted to do after my GCSE's and I decided that I wanted to study photography full time. So I left school and started a course at college. Before I was offered a place I had to attend an interview with a portfolio, and this is it.

Coventry Cathedral

This was my first "proper" photographic type project although really, it was a year 7 R.E homework project. At this point I knew absolutely nothing about photography and basically wondered around Coventry's cathedrals with only the second digital camera my parents had ever owned, taking photos I thought looked nice. 

Coventry is privileged enough to have 2 cathedrals which are, inventively called by local coventrians the "old cathedral" and the "new cathedral"! The "old cathedral" is a ruin having been bombed during the World war 2 blitz, hence the "new cathedral" was built in 1955.

How it all started

When I was 13 my mum sent a couple of pictures I had taken to the local newspaper and they were published! It's safe to say that I was quite chuffed and I started to believe that I might actually be not to bad at this taking photos business.
