Emma's Photographic Journey
Emma graduated from Tameside College in the summer of 2003 with various A-Levels, advanced GNVQ's and a HND. She had gained qualifications in a variety of subjects including fashion, graphics, 3D, photography, life drawing & painting, business studies, film studies and then decided to focus her studies mainly on Photography.
Upon leaving college in 2003 she took the plunge into the big wide world and became self employed - something she has never looked back on. Rather than work in a makeover studio etc and sweep up/make tea for a few years, she wanted to advance her photography "hands on" style and so... Miss Photography® was born!
Her very first film camera & lenses were a gift from her parents and must have cost a fair bit back then! After 5 years of solid use, it was time to upgrade to a digital camera, again a birthday gift from parents!! If it weren't for the bank of mum and dad offering multiple interest free loans, Emma wouldn't have been able to undertake photography, simply because of the costs involved. She is eternally grateful to them for the opportunities they have given her and is determined to put them to the best use.
While at college, Emma had the use of a studio but having left, her options were either expensive studio hire or location, she decided on location. For the next 3 years she undertook model portfolios, promotional portraits, music photography and headshots at a variety of locations including The Lowry, Chatsworth House, Thornton Manor and the hidden corners of Manchester!
2006 saw the conversion of her garage into a home studio - which she out grew in about 6 months, Emma required more space to fulfil her dream - undertaking boudoir and vintage glamour photography!!
