Photography
A passionate hobby of mine that I really enjoy. I learned how to take good (everything is subjective!) photographs with my dad, which makes it extra special for me.
I completed a capstone project and 6 month course over coursera with Michigan State University. I also did two Masterclasses with Jimmy Chin (landscapes) and Annie Leibovitz (portraits)- I’d highly recommend both as they were enjoyable, educational and inspiring.
The photographer I most admire is Peter Gordon, the Irish landscape photographer (Explore light).
“I work in history, I’m a storyteller”
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
