My art form and why I chose it: ______

Introduction

I first started with fashion when I was 8 yo and began creating my own products and clothing. When i was 10 yo I began fashion designing, and have been continuing since. For my GCSE I did a textiles project where I had to create a garment for an evening based on a culture, I chose Japan and created a dress with my own pattern. I’ve been doing photography on and off for the last couple of years. I started A-level photography course. I did not complete it but I learned a lot from it. And later learned lighting techniques.
