Callum McCormack
My name is Callum McCormack, I’m 20 years old but feel like I’m about 40 and am a resident in the city of sin, Coventry. I’m extremely sarcastic to the point where I’m not even sure when I’m serious anymore. A huge festival geek and a lover of everything music and Celtic Football Club. If I could describe myself in one song it would be ‘I’m A Realist’ by The Cribs, I think that gives a clear indication of my pessimism. I’m nice though, I promise. A Popular Music Journalism graduate.

Leon Gateley
As a child, when I was asked 'what do you want to be when you're older?' Contrary to the astronauts and police officers, 'a photographer!' I would respond. I have always been intrigued by the process of recording images; but also of how my perception from behind the lens can represent a scene in a unique way. Somewhere between a scientist and an artist, the photographer is the creator of a moment frozen in time - an alternate reality. It is this surreality of the image that draws me to the practise of photography.
Lizzie Capewell
