I create resources that show individuals how to use Photoshop, Photopea.com and the basics of your camera. I'm a photography enthusiast based in Chasetown, Staffordshire. I discovered the joy of photography at a young age when I was gifted my first digital Polaroid camera for Christmas, and never looked back. Since then, I have developed a deeper love and understanding of the photographic world from both academic studies and wandering through busy streets snapping anything that caught my eye.
