About Me 
Hi, I’m Leanne.
I’m a narrative-driven photographer based in South Wales, currently in my final year of a BA (Hons) Photography at Coleg Gwent and Cardiff Metropolitan University. 
My path through photopgraphy began, as it does for many, with the act of capturing life as it happended. However, I soon realised I wanted to tell these stories the way they deserved - with intentionality. I didn't want to take snapshots, I wanted to learn the skill and precision of the medium. Learning the craft led me to gaining a Distiction in FdA Photography, and that same drive for standards continues through every project I work on and every frame I capture.
I truly believe the most profound stories live in the quiet, unposed layers of everyday life. My perspective is further grounded by eighteen years of experiance in sensitive safegarding environments. This background has taught me the importance and value of empathy and trust
It's one thing to take a photo but another to have inclusion within an international online exhibition and having received recognition by industry experts within open-calls 
Lenscratch: Featured in the curated international exhibition Favourite Photo of 2025 (January 2026).
Expert Merit Award: Top 10 finish in International Animal Photography, judged and merited by Tesni Ward.
Expert Commended: Recognised by world-renowned photojournalist Stuart Freedman.
High-Tier Placements: Placing in the top 12–14% of global calls, including in Public Art and Architecture categories.

Credentials:
Enhanced DBS Certified (Available for sensitive and community-based environments).
FdA Professional Photography (Distinction).
Whether I’m documenting the fast pace of city life or the intimate, 'passing through' moments at home, my goal is always the same: to capture those fleeting, honest glimpses of our shared human experience.
