I work full time but am also studying with the Open College of the Arts in my spare time. Like a lot of other students I juggle working & caring for my family alongside studying. It can often be very difficult but I have become passionate about photography as a medium through which to express myself.I feel the coursework is crucial if I want to develop (excuse the pun) as a photographer. I love portraiture and have a growing interest in surrealism--something I want to explore further. I hope to eventually gain a BA Hons in Photography degree—but thats a long way– and a lot of work— ahead. http://www.oca-uk.com/degrees/ba-hons-in-photography I have completed & passed two level one courses The Art of Photography and People and Place .
