It's such a fast-paced environment, there's a real buzz, you just feel a part of a team.
What struck me is actually getting on a set and seeing how many jobs there are.
Lighting, sound is stage management and then set building, rigging.
I really get the sense that I'll leave here knowing
what to expect on a professional level show.
Pretty much the moment I discovered photography I knew I wanted to do fashion photography.
Essentially what happened is I accidentally pitched myself to a brand.
That led to putting together a photo shoot, sending it to them and they loved it.
Being creative in business is really important,
especially when it comes to the marketing side of it.
That's where I've always liked about business studies.
So I've come away from a business degree really strong on events and marketing
and that's where I found my passion.
I've done composition, I've done sound design, I've done recording,
I've done mixing, I've done mastering.
I've done pretty much every aspect of the industry at the moment was pretty much covered.
