    • University of Sussex

      Apr 2012 - Mar 2018

      During my time at the University of Sussex as a student I shadowed the University's Photography, Stuart Robinson, and covered a number of assignments and photography jobs on his behalf. Although I am now a full time employee at the University, in the Engineering and Informatics school office, I am still regularly asked to cover assignments. If I can do these during my lunch hour I endeavour to do so, but I am also able to use TOIL (Time Off In Lieu) and my annual leave for larger and longer events. To date, these have included such assignments as: conferences, group shots, documenting live-audience debates and staff portraiture. Show less
