About me
I am M. Perry. I am a young photographer born and raised in Suffolk.
As a child, I had interests in anything that was arty and creative. And as I grew, so did that passion for art and creativity. When I got my first smartphone, a Samsung S3 mini, I discovered a new form of creativity. The ability to capture a moment in time.
The first Image I could find taken on my video Traveler camera in 2009
I started off photographing anything that I thought looked interesting, and as an 8-year-old that meant anything from a cool-looking carrot to a pretty flower. But again, as I got older, my passion grew, as well as my quality of camera, when I was about 10 I got a video camera which took off my passion for photographic art in particular.

It wasn't until I was 16 that I got my first DSLR camera. Which has allowed me to express my emotions and feelings more clearly, as well allowing me to be able capture some beautiful scenes of nature in higher quality.
The first Image I took using a Pentax film camera
After I finished my GCSE's in 2019 and got my results, I joined college to do: Level 3 Art & Design - Photography course, where I learnt how to use my new camera. At college, I discovered film photography; at first I thought it was old and boring, but after developing my own roll of film and seeing the results, my love for film photography took off!

In March 2020, I was shortlisted for Young Landscape Artist of the Year. Then in September 2020, I received Student of the Year for Art and Design at college as well as getting Distinction for my last two projects for college as well as a Distinction for my working at grade for this 2nd year.
This is Me.
