Portia Crossley Photography

I first fell in love with photography on my 7th birthday when I was given a Polaroid camera. Later on that evening at a Cantonese Restaurant I insisted on photographing the people at every table and imploring them to purchase the image to remember their special evening by! I earned myself quite a bit of pocket money that night but worth more than the cash was the discovery of photography. Since that time I have gained various photography and art qualifications and experience through previous work in marketing and web design. This background has all served to shape me into the photographer I am today. I have been awarded the Distinction of Licentiateship of The Royal Photographic Society. This is not only a recognition of my work as industry standard but provides me with plenty of opportunities for continued professional development. Recently my work on the theme 'togetherness' was 'Highly Commended' in an international professional photography competition.
