If I could raise my fucking voice.
I'd fucking scream.
YOU DRIVE ME UP THE WALL!
LOOKING AT YOU MAKES ME SICK!
I HOPE YOU DIE!

God, Its full blown HATRED now!
I've NEVER hated someone this fucking much!
It makes my stomach tie in knots I hate you that much!'

You're so FUCKING annoying!

I absolutely detest you.
Not even kidding.
I've never hated someone, as much as you.

ARGH!!!

I fucking HATE essays.

No. Anything but that feeling just going away. I didn't mean it. Don't block that one out. Please?

I am currently studying National Diploma Art and Design, in my second year specializing in Photography. I grew an interest in photography after doing a course in it during my first year in art and design. I’ve never really excelled at something before I did photography; I grew an almost instantaneous attraction to it and a real passion to learn more. I suppose with photography I lost a lot of the limitations I had when I did other forms of art, and I could really let go and produce work I am happy with. I have always been influenced by Fashion photographers, like Juergen Teller but don’t always stick to it specifically. I also have a love for kind of obscure photographers such as Aaron Hawks or Nabuyoshi Araki. I do quite a lot of research on other photographers, but mostly online. The last photography book I read was David Lachaplle’s book Heaven and Hell. I adore Lachapelle’s work, his vibrant and quirky spin on sometimes horrific subjects really attract me to his work.

During my own work, I quite often work with a small team of hair and makeup, but not always. I have recently done a commission away from college, shooting some portfolio shots for an aspiring model. I read the occasional magazine that will show work by photographers and I learn a lot about composition and positioning models from magazines. I also find modelling television programmes, such as the “Next Top Model” series, hold a lot of information for aspiring photographers.

Other interests that I have include Fashion itself and celebrity culture. Both I think are a big influence on art, since Andy Warhol. After university I would like to progress in Fashion or contemporary photography and do some advertising work.

To conclude, after taking an instant passion for photography, and quickly learning, I feel that going to university to study photography into a deeper depth, I could go as far as I wish to go with it.
