Media Courses

Over the years I have attended many lectures, seminars, masterclasses and training days.. and if you know me well I am sure you can guess what for... film production of course! and I can't get enough!

Taking courses are so valuable if you want to expand your knowledge and it is a great way to hear the honest truth from industry professionals. Unlike what you may hear during a University lecture, during a masterclass you get to hear real, practical advice on what it takes to work in the media industry. From the good and the bad to what personality traits and clothing you will need for your first day on a film set. I recommend to anyone interested in film production to make the effort to go to as many training days and courses as possible. Most of them are very inexpensive, for example the latest one I have signed up for was only £6 of the day!

Below I have collected a list of courses I have attended and would recommend to friends. I attended these course in Northern Ireland but most of them have similar events throughout the UK.

Ropes, Rust and Seaweed

Last semester at University I had a photography class and we had to create a photography project. I live at a seaside town which is so pretty and 'picture perfect'. There are so many pretty pictures of the town and I really wanted to stay away from the stereotypical photographs. I wanted to capture the typical seaside objects that aren't often pictured.. so have a look at some of the photographs from my project named 

'Ropes, Rust and Seaweed'

ps I got a first ;)

Monks are cool!

My dad and I visited Rostrevor Monastery in May 2013. I've met the Benedictine Monks a few times and they're really cool guys! The Monastery in Northern Ireland is so peaceful and it was perfect for a photography session. 

p.s. Monk banter is the best kind of banter!

Irish beauty

I live in Northern Ireland and sometimes I take its beauty for grated. Here's some of my snaps of the beautiful place I am lucky to live in.

Photography of landscapes and nature is my favourite. It's hard to capture how beautiful a place is and I like that. Experience these views through eyes instead of through lens.
