About

Will is a Manchester-based Creative Technologist and Photography (BA Hons) graduate from the Manchester School of Art, achieving First Class Honours, with a focus on visual communication and user-focused design.

His work combines creative thinking with a structured, problem-solving approach, aiming to produce imagery that is both visually engaging and purposeful. He is particularly interested in how digital technology influences the way visual content is created, presented, and experienced.

Alongside his photographic work, he is developing technical skills in software and web technologies, with an interest in user experience and digital product design. This allows him to approach creative work with a broader perspective, considering not only the visual outcome but also how it functions within a wider digital context.
Photography

His photographic work is centred around clear visual communication, with a focus on creating imagery that is both purposeful and considered. He approaches each project with an emphasis on structure, composition, and narrative, aiming to produce outcomes that are not only visually engaging but also intentional in their meaning.

Through his studies at Manchester Metropolitan University, he has developed a strong understanding of both technical processes and conceptual thinking, allowing him to work across a range of styles and briefs. He regularly engages in iterative development, using feedback and critique to refine his work and clarify his visual language.

He is particularly interested in how photography operates within wider contexts, whether that be branding, digital platforms, or user interaction. This has led him to develop beyond the image itself, considering how work is presented, experienced, and understood by different audiences.


Technology

Alongside his photographic practice, he has developed a strong interest in digital technology and its role in shaping modern creative and professional environments. Through self-directed learning, he has built foundational skills in Python and web development, applying structured thinking to small-scale projects, including automation tools and web-based applications.

His interest lies not only in the technical side of development, but in how digital systems are designed to be intuitive, efficient, and user-focused. He is particularly drawn to areas such as user experience, digital product design, and how technology can enhance both functionality and communication.

He is continually expanding his technical knowledge, exploring how concepts such as automation, data handling, and AI can be applied to improve workflows and solve practical problems. This ongoing learning complements his creative background, allowing him to approach challenges with both analytical and design-led thinking.
