The Colours of Nature
This is my most recognised photo. I took this on a brisk morning in 2020 on my old iPhone 7 and entered it into the Rotary Young Photographer Competition in 2022. The theme was “The Colours of Nature” and I came first place in my school, then the district and overall second in the country.

Sunset at Trebarwith Strand
This is one of my best shots I’ve ever taken. I stood on the very edge of some rocks trying to take this picture. I wanted the sky, the waves and the rocks all to be within frame, so I composed the photo into thirds. The first third being consumed by the sky, the second/middle being where the waves were crashing and the final being the foreground of the rocks with the water closest to me gradually fading out of focus. I’m incredibly pleased with how this photo looked straight out of the camera and after enhancing it in post production, it now looks even better; definitely my best photo of 2023.

Jack Savoretti
I struggled to get photos when I went to see Jack Savoretti as they do not allow you to take cameras into concerts. I had to use my iPhone to capture this shot and while the quality was quite low due to me having to digitally zoom in to take the photo, thankfully, editing this image in monochrome to make the lights stand out with Jack along with the audience looking like shadows helped me make this photo look brilliant and remove the distractions of low quality textures and details.

Lakeside Liquid Gold
During a trip to the Lake District, our accommodation was gifted by having Lake Windermere at its doorstep. Because of this, it allowed for some fantastic opportunities to take photos of the setting sun as it made the water glow. I love the colour that the sun produced when shining onto the reflective water as it creates peaceful layers above and below the layer of forestry between the water and the sky.
