Personal Statement
Since a young age, I have been interested in art and photography. I have compiled a portfolio consisting of 15 photographs I feel best express my personal style as a photographer. I am interested mostly in portraiture and in particular nude photography. With over 5 years of studying art and photography behind me, I am confident that I am well suited for a career in the Arts. A particular interest of mine is working within the field of exhibition organisation. Throughout my time at University I have taken part in several exhibitions and have thoroughly enjoyed the entire process, from initial ideas to concrete plans. After gathering work experience at a gallery, I have also become interested in the general running of Art and Photographic Galleries.
