I have chosen to do this course as I am interested in studying photography. I hope to progress to be a photographer who will travel around the world, taking as many stunning images as possible. I want to focus in portrait and fashion photography, especially when travelling as I like the idea of seeing the difference between the cultural clothing and our physical identity. I understand that whilst studying I wont be able to travel to different countries and produce the images I want to straight away but, I'll still be able to progress in fashion and portrait photography and work my way up to my ultimate goal. I also accept the amount of hard work and consistency that I need to have to complete the next three years of university however, I'm very driven and complete things that I set my mind too. As I have been studying photography for the past 2 years, I have a wide amount of knowledge of the subject and the different genres. Throughout these past two years, I have been lucky enough to learn about the different techniques and become very familiar with studio photography and film photography. All of which I will be able to apply to my further education course. I also studied Media Studies as a GCSE at high school which helped me tremendously throughout my extended diploma course, especially when it came to editing images or being able to express my creative ideas as I learned how to pull everything together to create something I could be proud of. I am also a very keen photographer outside of college, taking images of anything and anyone. Out side of educational courses, I don't like to plan shoots as I personally think that spontaneous photoshoots make for the best results. You don't know what you're going to end up with and I love that although sometimes, you only end up with a few good shots. I want to progress onto university as I think it gives you the best jump start to life. You're able to get more job opportunities with a further education and I want to help myself as much as possible. I also like the thought of a friendly community and being able to do things together as a university. Including making new friends with the community around us. I have been involved with many different photography jobs including a 60th birthday glam for Maureen Vickers. I also have a cake smashing photoshoot coming up very soon as well as a possible wedding booking. Although these aren't the jobs that I want to be doing, I am prepared to do anything to put my foot in the door. I am a very sociable person so I like being out and interacting with different people. One of my proudest achievements has to be winning BCA with my cheerleading team in 2014 and getting a worlds bid allowing us to travel to Florida and compete in the world national competition. I also danced for 13 years. Because both were a team sport, I had a responsibility to show up on time and put 100% effort into what I was doing. I have a lot of qualities however, I'd say being able to understand different types of people is something that makes me unique. Whether it's someone with learning disabilities or mental issues, I'm very educated on how to deal with different people as I have cousins with the same problems. I hope to take everything I learn into my future and help me continue my creative flow. I'm looking forward to see what I will create in the future.
