My story...
I'm Nicola, my love for photography began when I was around 9 years old and given my first camera by my grandparents. I loved that camera, I was always taking pictures of my family and friends. Fast forward to the present day, I have a BA (Hons) in Photography, and am proud to say my work has been exhibited in numerous parts of the UK, won awards and has been published in magazines.
When I first began studying on a level 3 photography course 11 years ago, I never dreamed that one day I would become a professional photographer with my own business.
As well as being a member of the Royal Photographic Society, I have been awarded "Associate Photographer', to further show my commitment and passion towards photography, along with its importance in the world. This is an extremely prestigious qualification and one I am extremely proud of.
