Medical Photography at Whiston hospital is part of the Plastic & Burns Unit. I commenced photographing people/patients. I loved the idea of being able to present the facts visually for benefit of both the doctor and patient using the medical techniques; however It wasn’t always a pleasant situation .My interest in this science has lead me to develop and combine my two loves, looking at the narratives with the technical expertise. My main inspiration was Lennart Nilsson who is regarded as the greatest scientific photographer in the world. For my final project I focused on human’s skin and looking at this creation with a microscopic view, so this project is an extension from there.
Recently I have been employed by St Helens and Knowsley Trust as an Ophthalmic Photographer. Before I began this job, I had never taken into account how much we take our visual abilities for granted. The more I learn about the eyes, the more I realize how fascinating, amazing and mysterious it is.
For me photographing eyes is a new world of photography and by end of this project I am hoping to be able to show part of this mystery!
