KEEN photographer Zak Stratton-Taylor is a student at Kingsdown School and will be sitting his GCSEs this summer.

The 15-year-old says he hopes to be a professional photographer one day.

“I’ve been doing photography for a while now, it’s a very big hobby of mine,” he said.

“It’s very interesting because you find yourself exploring on foot a lot — it’s surprisingly good for you as I walk everywhere to take pictures!

“It opens your eyes more and you end up seeing things you wouldn’t usually notice if you were walking along on your phone or in a car.

“I love the fact every photograph has a memory attached to it. I’ve also made new friends doing photography and helped teach others and also learned from others.

“It also doesn’t need to be expensive, so I highly recommend giving it a try.”
