Sian initially became inspired to pursue photography after visiting her first David Bailey exhibition accompanied by her Father at the age of fifteen whilst studying for her Art GCSE. During her A levels studying Art, Photography and Media she purchased her first DSLR camera which she still uses to this day alongside a further collection of both analogue and digital cameras. 

In recent years Sian has enjoyed travelling the world and expanding her knowledge on both the theory and technical sides of photography. In 2018 she graduated with a First Class B.A (Hons) Photography degree at The University for the Creative Arts, Farnham. Sian is now currently studying at UCA on the MFA Photography course.
