I bought my first Digital SLR in 2008 and wanted to improve my digital photography. So I enrolled on a City and Guilds Level 2 photography course at Salford College. When I completed this I went on to complete Level 3. I attained distinctions at both levels.

My plan for the next year is to produce a submission for the Royal Photographic Society and hopefully attain LRPS.

I am a member of Atherton and District Amateur Photographic Society.

I also have a website www.joecollinsphotography.co.uk
