Intro to tutor Katrina Whitehead from Maureen Robinson

I look after my elderly mother and I wanted to do a degree that would fit in around this. Comparatively recently(6 years ago) I took up photography and I have found it very therapeutic indeed. I considered studying GCSE Art and Design(photography) but I was worried I wasn't talented enough so I sent in a photo of Belfast to the BBC Newsline weather forecast and they showed it(since then I've had about 16 photos on that programme). In the middle of the GCSE I got a video clip ( a sunset)accepted by the BBC to be in a documentary called Britain in a Day. Next I studied for a City & Guilds level 2 award in digital image manipulation and got a distinction. After that I studied for a Btec level 3 certificate( a merit in location and studio photography and a pass in experimental). So now I have enrolled in the degree course.

There is a small seaside town on the Antrim coast called Whitehead and it is only forty minutes by train from Belfast so I go there often – here is a photo taken from the train window.
