At huge risk of sounding cheesy, I’ve really grown into myself during the course as a person and an artist. I’ve volunteered with the Brighton Photo Biennial and the Brighton Photo Fringe, which has been incredibly valuable in finding a place in the photographic community as well as gaining hands-on experience of exhibition installation.
