Although embracing the changes and making use of all the technology available he still likes to use film for some projects especially the use of large format. After attending several film based photography evening classes at Truro College, in 2008, Truro College offered the chance to study photography on a part-time FdA in photography and digital imaging which he joined with great enthusiasm. As it was part-time it was spread over four years instead of the usual two. Throughout the four years Jason learnt a great number of new skills including a range of photographic techniques, theory and business studies needed to become a successfully professional photographer. Jason successfully completed his FdA in 2012 graduating with Distinction and Principals Commendation. He also won the prize for most Improved Graduating Student that year. Having developed a number of new techniques and skills throughout his time at Truro College, Jason would like to specialize mainly in portrait photography.Read More
