During my spare time I enjoy making short films on a range of topics along with practising techniques in amateur photography.  I very much enjoy travelling and seeing new places.  I always record some footage and a log of my travels with use of photography which I later use to harness the skills I have acquired from my degree and self practise in my spare time.

I also enjoy a range of sports including football, cycling and scuba diving.

I am also very keen on following my local arts and music scene.
