Why Photography?

At first I didnt really know what i wanted to do with in my career path, I went through phases of changing my mind. I have always enjoyed art because my dad always use to create, draw and make things all the time, I found it really interesting so I looked into starting at course at Plymouth college of art and design (PCAD). i chose to do a national diploma in art and design, which is where you have ago at everything from fashion,textiles,jewellery,glass,photography etc. I enjoyed it but not as much as I thought and i was still left thinking what do I really want to do. when we did some work in the darkroom i really enjoyed that expierence, I think I enjoyed it the most.

After my 2 year course finished i looked into applying for another course at the same college doing a degree in PHOTOGRAPHY!. I chose to do this because this is what I enjoyed most in my last course with what I had expierence of, I like how you can make an image become "photography" and there isnt really any limit to what you can take a picture of, anyone can take a picture of something, but it takes someone to understand that image and what its about that makes that image successful. the area I mostly have an interest for is probably advertising, I like all that creating and thinking stuff, which I do find a struggle but also a challenge.
