this is a shortened copy of my Personal Statement that got me into University at Falmouth

I would love a career in Photography (mainly Fashion Photography and Photo Shoots). I have always been incredibly interested in the subject. My fervour for photography and fashion has been ongoing for numerous years. Inspiration first came to me from such shows as Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model where I would be heavily focussed on the design element to a photo shoot, the eccentricity it features, the composition and the idea of building a collection. All these features have enthused my passion for a course in photography. Friends and staff at school call me an extrovert and flamboyant as well as very outstanding and comical. My ostentatious style has influenced a lot of my creativity across all my subject areas and I want to progress this further at university.
Having studied Graphic Design in 6th form, my AS and A2 courses have been heavily based around my photography, self-portraiture and PhotoShop work. These subjects seem to be a fine coalition for what I would like to do in the future. I am very skilled on PhotoShop which aided my decision to study Graphic Design. Having also designed and created the front cover of our Year 11 yearbook as well as posters around school and portraits of teachers and form groups. I have created commercial pieces including; advertisements, posters, flyers, tickets and draft designs for packaging.
I have uploaded work that has/will be used in my AS and A2 Graphic Design studies. I was a photographer at a christening where I created a series of portraits and group photos. I also created the ‘Hair @ Pro-styles’ advertisement. I try to be creative with my work, creating surreal portraits and striking images (the eye with two pupils for example) which display my photography skills combined with my photo manipulation skills.
