1    Personal statement

2    by Jenna Holden

3    

4    I am currently studying towards achieving my FDA in contemporary photography. I am a mature

5    student and I would really like to achieve my full BA HONS with a view to be able to teach in

6    the future.

7    

8    Photography is my passion, 3 years ago I had never picked up a digital camera, and at 35 I

9    completely started again after spending time raising my family. This has turned into something

10    which i am striving to achieve a career path in. Its been something i have focused on and from

11    which I wish to achieve a successful career within the industry.

12    

13    I work harder than any student I know. I have achieved distinctions throughout whilst raising

14    three children on my own, one with severe learning difficulties and i have started my own

15    small photography business from scratch. i am driven, determined and i work so hard to achieve

16    everything myself.

17    

18    i am currently studying towards my FDA in contemporary photography under Plymouth university,

19    at Weymouth college. This course has been an amazing starting ground for me, and I feel as

20    this is my last and only shot at university, i would love to experience a large and well

21    connected establishment for my final year in education.

22    

23    Previous to my FDA i had completed my diploma in photography at a triple distinction level.

24    this was a part time course and was what ignited my passion to the subject.

25    

26    I was an under achiever my entire life, I came out of school and care with nothing to show and

27    had my eldest son who has down syndrome age 19. i had an unhappy life that 4 years ago i

28    decided to change, leaving with the shirts on our backs and ending up in a refuge with

29    nothing. i realised i had nothing to fall back on, no qualifications, nothing to be able to

30    earn enough of a salary to support myself and my family.

31    

32    This has given me the drive and get up to get my education finally before I hit 40 so I can

33    stand on my own two feet and become a success in my own right.

34    

35    I have a small business called wedontdoposes that I have equipt and built up myself, I work a

36    lot for different causes for free to gain experience, including homeless shelters and in

37    support of the woman's refuge in Dorset. I also regularly work for Dorset volunteer service

38    for any sort of photography they should need. I shoot alot of family portraits but i am ready

39    for the next level in my career and this qualification

40    

41    I would love to gain knowledge in this field and challenge myself and my skill sets to further

42    my career. Teaching is something I would love to do with my qualification, I am keen to work

43    in most areas of the profession that i can work around my family.
