I interrupt your regularly scheduled programme on this feed to proudly announce that as of July 10th, 2026, I have OFFICIALLY graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Photography!
These last 4 years have been the adventure of a lifetime. Within 1,332 days there have been some ups, plenty of downs, at least 1,332 late nights, 1 on-campus all nighter, 30 panic attacks (all within the span of a month... Dissertation was an experience...), 1 resit, 2 extensions, the list is endless... But in 1,332 days I have grown more than I ever could have imagined. I have Edinburgh Napier University to credit for the photographer I am today, the experiences I have been exposed to - from working with ENSA to interviewing my biggest influences (the very photographers I have looked up to since I was 14!).
I am beyond proud of myself for sticking with it throughout it all. 3 months in I wanted to drop out, then I wanted to drop out when I had 3 months left to go. But I persevered and pushed myself out of my comfort zone many times, and yesterday it all proved worth it.
I want to thank everyone who backed me during these last 4 years and listened to my endless rants, volunteered to be a muse, and showed up for me. These gestures do not go unnoticed.
Some extra special shoutouts and thanks:
ɴᴀɪʟ ꜱᴀʟᴏɴ & ᴛʀᴀɪɴɪɴɢ ᴀᴄᴀᴅᴇᴍʏ, Glasgow's BEST nail tech (who did my grad nails and listened to all the work and uni goss during our appointments over the last 4 years💞)
Mariusz Lesniak, Edinburgh's finest hairdresser, who has nailed EVERY. SINGLE. STYLE. I have asked for EVER from blue hair to Calico hair to balayage to pink hair to my grad hair. I will never trust anyone with my hair like I trust Mariusz ❣️
Croatish for customising for me the beautiful čuturica featured in carousels 2-4 and 6 with such a tight deadline. Having a piece of my Croatian heritage at my graduation is something I will cherish forever and to be able to have a physical keepsake to remember it all is a feeling I can't describe. Thank you a million times over! 🇭🇷💞
And finally, to my loved ones for being there with me every step of the way and showing up for me yesterday.
Edinburgh Napier University, over and out!
