class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and I\u2019ve been photographing the world around me since the mid-1980s, creating images for businesses, media agencies, publishers, and organisations for both print and commercial use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years, I\u2019ve earned a Master of Arts in Photography, before this a BA (Hons) in Photography, and an FdA in Media Production, as well as other professional photography <a href=\"https:\/\/markstothard.info\/qualifications\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">awards<\/a>, including Associate and Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My current work takes me back into research, exploring photography through the lenses of posthumanism, psychogeography, and affect theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, I share my experience as an Audio Visual Practitioner, through mentoring, workshops, creative adventures, and as a guest supervisor and speaker at universities, colleges, and camera clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you\u2019d like to connect, feel free to call, email, or book a video
