How i got into Photography: I got into Photography at a very young age. whenever my mum and dad took me out to places like the zoo or the park, i would always take my camera with me, i loved taking photos.

I didnt start thinking about a career in photography until i was in my first year at college. During my first year at Bexhill College, i studied Graphic Design, ICT and Word Processing. I am now currently coming to the end of my second year at the college and am studying Graphic Design, ICt and Photography, i am going to be continuing with Photography in my third year.

Doing photography as an a-level at college has really pushed me to take photo's and begin thinking about photography as an actual career itself. During my course so far i have taken some pretty good landcape pictures (they can be found on the landcape pictures page on this site).

In April last year i started going to watch live speedway at Alrington Stadium in Eastbourne. I absolutly loved it! now i go to almost every meeting throughout the season. I started to look at photographer's websites who did speedway photography and became really interested, so now iv started to do some myself and im loving it.

When im out taking photos, it makes me really happy because im doing something i really like doing and it helps me to relax aswell.

I would advice any budding photographer's out there to actually get out and do it, because it's a great feeling at the end of the day when you can see what amazing photos you have taken.
