FIRSTWORKS

I started work as a journalist when I left school to avoid university. It was an amazing education that taught me how to gather information, sort it into order and produce the required number of words against the clock. Court cases, council meetings, diamond weddings, football matches, elections, factory closures - on a local paper you do everything... Then I moved to London and began to free-lance as well as hold down a production job. I soon realised I could earn almost twice as much if I took the pictures as well as writing the story.
