Dear SMH tenants,
We will be hosting a photography student at SMH over the next few months- please see message from her below 🙂
Hi guys, my name is Tasha. I come from a village in Aberdeenshire and moved here for university. Speaking of which, I am currently a 3rd year photography student at Edinburgh Napier, and I’ll be around for the next couple of months on placement at St Margarets House.
I really love portraiture photography and using it to share stories, so I’d love to talk to any of you about your work and take portraits of you in your environment if that’s something you would be interested in. I firmly believe that any story has the ability to positively influence someone’s life, and that makes every story worthy of being told.
Photography is something that pulled me out of a very dark place in my life and made a huge impact on me as a person, and I hope someday I can be a part of that same process for someone else who needs it as badly as I did.
Beyond photography, I can be a bit of a nerd when it comes to DC comic books, fantasy novels or really any kind of fantastical media. I have a vast collection of precious stones; I spend a lot of my free time climbing, and I even work in a kitchen. So, I really cover most bases when it comes to interests and conversation starters. All of these things make me as a person and influence my work as a photographer, and I’d love to learn about what influences your work as artists.
