--- ABOUT ME ---

So yeah, I'm 22 years old and have been an artistic person all of my life.
From the young age of 5 when I used to scribble down pictures of characters from my favourite TV shows and computer games in my Auntie's living room, only to forget such vital details such as arms and hair.
Luckily I learned pretty quickly and by the age of 14 became proficient at drawing in an anime-esque style, from which I decided to take a GCSE in Art; which was a big mistake as it made me realise I'm useless at drawing still life and set alight the realisation that if you want a picture of something real, use a camera; don't spent 10 hours with soft pastels scraping away to make a poor representation of the subject; needless to say I didn't do very well.
After my GCSEs I set about taking my A-Levels in a very academic fashion, leaving my artistic side behind me in the hope of procuring excellent qualifications to get a job in ICT; this didn't go as planned as after leaving college the recession started and I coun't find a decent job which wasn't fixed term; but thanks to my friend Mikey, who revived my artistic side and mentored me in the ways of the photographer, I have used this spare time to my advantage and now have a collection of ever expanding and ever improving photographs. Plus it's all paid off as I now work full time as a Fashion Photographer
