Hospitality
I’ve had an interest in photography since being at school. Only in recent months have I picked up a camera and really found a passion and love for the subject.
I would describe myself as an enthusiast, hobby photographer, learning every day. Photography, for me, has become a type of therapy, escapism, and in turn aiding me in daly life and my mental health. Surrounded by places of interest has meant endlesss photographic opportunities to enjoy behnd the camera.
