I left that trip with a large portfolio of teenage photography that unbeknownst to me, would propel me into the world of journalism and photojournalism.

I was inspired by the great photojournalists of the last century, and it became clear that I must further my understanding of peoples, cultures and the world. My mind was made up and I have spent the last four years studying Journalism at Edinburgh Napier University.

Curriculum Vitae

INTRODUCTION

This portfolio aims to showcase my aspirations in professional journalism. As I end my studies and look to future employment it is important to reflect on my time studying and practising journalism.

Removing the ‘student’ from my current ‘student journalist’ title is a daunting prospect but with the four years of learning that I have completed at university I believe I am fully prepared, qualified and have the perfect attitude to begin my professional adventure.

As I traversed the noisy, chaotic alleyways of ancient Jerusalem in October 2018, capturing candid shots of merchants bartering in the vibrant souk, I not only experienced the cultural whiplash of this most divided and devisive of cities, but also the exhilaration that comes from discovering something bigger than myself. I discovered authentic humanity – and an excitement for delving into the depths of their narratives, unearthing the essence of their existence.
