Mozambique living...

My love affair with photography began when I was a child and I started taking photographs on field trips with a point and shoot. I was very intrigued from an early age as to how the picture was captured then developed onto photographic paper.

I originally studied journalism but my passion has always been photography. I have bought numerous reference books and more equipment. I have also attended part time courses and workshops including one with Jim Richardson, which further motivated me. I am currently studying towards my photography degree part time via correspondence through OCA - UK.

I believe you have to blend technical knowledge of photography with the ability to see a beautiful image, which is what drives me. It’s a combination of science and art. The more I learn, the more I can accurately express what I am trying to convey in my photographs. To be able to spend time in the field with a professional like yourself would enable me to understand what makes a shot perfect, which would boost my self-confidence.

I would love to combine my love for travel and photography into a career but I also want to make a difference with my photography.
