What’s your go-to camera?

My go-to camera is my dad's old Cannon 100D with a 50mm lens - this setup works for pretty much all the photos I want to take, and I like the restrictions of not having a zoom lens

 

What’s the most challenging photo you’ve ever taken, and how did you capture it? 

During higher photography, I was doing a lot of work with light and colour. All of my shoots were very janky and were done in this tiny cupboard in my school's art department. Trying to get light trails by swinging string lights around my friend's head seemed like a good idea; until I hit her in the face a million times because the room was so cramped and I was too short to go any higher up- it worked though! 

 

 

What inspired you to start taking photos?

Growing up my dad was always taking photos using one of his many cameras; when I inherited those cameras his love of photography came with them, and I just have a lot of fun with it.

 

What's the most embarrassing or funny thing that has ever happened to you? 

Once when I was coming home after two weeks away I was getting off the coach, tripped, and completely decked it in front of all my friends and my mum who was picking me up... this was embarrassingly recently. 

 

If you could live in any fictional world, which one would it be and why? 

Given the chance I would 100% be transported to Middle Earth and live out my days as a Hobbit in the Shire. I'm the right height so why not!

 

If you could have any animal as a pet, regardless of practicality or legality, what would you choose and why? 

Stegosaurus. I will not elaborate.
