After many weeks of meltdowns and stress I have decided to end my journey in education! This was not an easy decision and has weighed heavy on my shoulders, taking into consideration all aspects of both my personal and educational life I have made the right choice. I am a little apprehensive as to what the future holds as I go it alone and I hope you will all join me along the way!

Where it all began…

My educational journey began in August 2017 as I was enrolled in the NQ photography course taught in new college Lanarkshire’s Coatbridge campus. I walked through the doors with not much more than a few snapshots that could have been taken with an iPhone! The class consisted of people of all ages, ability and experience. I learned soo much within a short period of time and enjoyed every brief!

I woke up every morning and looked forward to attending class and excited about what was next! I used to use my days off going out to practise the skills learned each week! I went from taking snap shots to being able to set up lights and capture still life shots that at the time I thought were no bad lol, here is one of my first still life images taken for a “drinks” brief.

I completed the NQ course in June 2018 with everything passed and a certificate upon completion! This allowed me to progress onto the HNC level photography course taught within the Motherwell campus! This course was a big jump from NQ and along with a class full of new faces came a heavier work load! Within the first semester I noticed an improvement on my work and I have attached an image used for my “glass” brief…

The first semester flew in and the second semester along with Outside education commitments Caused a great amount of stress and I pushed myself to complete successfully! Was given an A for my graded unit which I was delighted with, received my higher national certificate and was offered a place on the HND course. When I started My photography journey, HND wasn’t something I planned on doing but I said if i was offered a place I would be silly to turn it down! Unfortunately it didn’t work out! I’ve had a great educational journey and ready for the next journey…
