Work Placement
RCM Gallery, Nanjing, China, October 2008 – November 2008

My experience here included photographing art works at the Nanjing Triennial for documentary purposes and publication. I also dealt with international artists and worked alongside them on publications like flyers and posters for their exhibition. I researched a lot about Chinese contemporary Art whilst in China and learnt a lot about the context of the artwork, speaking to several lecturers and emerging Chinese contemporary artists whilst I was working for the gallery.

Sheffield Star, Sheffield, UK, September 2011 - October 2011
Here I worked with the photography department. I was sent to photograph places, events and people to go alongside written articles. My photographs were published I was given several bylines. I also used the Atex System to log and archive all images that were taken, so that they could be searched for by other photographers and journalists at a later date.
