Hello! My name is Ashleigh, and I am a current second-year student studying BA (Hons) Photography at Southampton Solent University. I have always had a passion for photography since I was a little kid. After I graduate, I want to put my name out to the public and try to become a well-known photographer, going to different events and showing off my wide variety of photography skills. I don't stick to just one genre of photography - I like to do everything and help people whenever I can. I have experience working with lots of people and children, as I used to help out at schools thanks to my role at the University as an ambassador. I am happy to answer any questions and help people, and I look forward to talking to you!
