As 2014 is about to come to an end and I start to plan out what I want to achieve in 2015, I thought a starting point would be to look back on what I had achieved this year, and in all honestly I have to say 2014 has been a pretty good year for my photography. I won't mention every shoot, but here's a few highlights!
Practical Photography Magazine
Firstly at the beginning of the year, having been an intern for Practical Photography magazine for just a few months, my contract was extended and I've now been working at the magazine for over a year! All of this came from doing a one-day work experience through GoThinkBig, and my role has dramatically changed since I first started - I even do a bit of writing now! I can also now finally reveal that the next issue of Practical Photography, on sale the 30th December features a video interview with the amazing Rankin, an interview which I arranged and got to go along to! Yes this was mega for me!
Rebelicious Magazine
After having some of my photos published in Rebelicious Magazine at the end of 2013, I started 2014 with my own feature Frock N Roll. The feature includes an interview with female members of rock bands and also photographs that I've taken of the artist.I also had a 6-page editorial featured in the September issue! I'll be planning more work with Rebelicious both on an editorial basis and also for Frock N Roll so if you're a model or female in a UK band and want to be featured get in touch!
Music Photography
Looking at what I've achieved within my music photography this year seems ABSOLUTELY MENTAL. Not only did I get to shoot my first TWO big festivals for Hit The Floor Magazine (Sonisphere and Leeds Festival), but I also won the NME Photography Awards live category. I still can't believe it to be honest and have to keep reminding myself (in a non-ego way) that it's pretty damn amazing. NME editor, Mike Williams actually said at the awards evening that my photo was "f**king amazing" and I will definitely never forget that!

I wonder what will happen in 2015...
