My Photography Work

Many of you won't know, but I have just finished my final year in sixth form and will be going to University in September.

In sixth form, I studied three A-Levels; Photography, Art & Design and Psychology.
I have recently been going in to put up my exhibitions for art and photography and thought that this was a good opportunity to share some of my work with you! I also have a tumblr account dedicated to my photography work which you can check out here.

Thanks for reading!

Leavers Ball

So last week was my sixth form/college leavers ball and my friends and I each got to dress up like a princess and eat a posh 3 course meal before getting drunk, dancing and eventually staggering back to a hotel on the other side of Leeds. 

Of course I wasn't one of these people, I got a taxi perfectly sober back to my hotel room and then me and my best friend sat watching all the drunk people staggering back to the same hotel. 

However, here are some of my photos from the night! :)

Thanks for reading!
