I first started working at Metal back in 2013 working on a website (Idea1) that promoted arts and culture in Peterborough, as well as being Peterborough’s Administrator. I joined after completing a BA Fine Arts at Central St Martins and MA Photography at London College Communication. I’m born and raised in Peterborough. I’ve hugely enjoyed and am proud to see Metal bring lots of exciting opportunities and a wide variety of arts to the city that I grew up in. There’s too many memories to choose a favourite but Harvest Festival and the meal with Lucy and Jorge Orta in 2015 holds a special place in my heart. Or Stone Henge Heritage, a weird and wonderful sunrise performance with participants dressed as standing stones, a surreal yet unforgettable memory! I love watching anything by Wes Anderson, their films always inspire me to go out and photograph again.
