Dave Mann
Technical Operations Team Leader
I have worked as a professional photographer and photography educator for many years, starting as a Royal Air Force photographer in the 1980's.
This led on to running my own photography studio. Weddings (every photographer should try this once!), portraiture, commercial, fashion, consultancy work, running photography holidays and photography seminars, were all part of the studio life.
I joined Falmouth University in 1998, when it was Falmouth College of Arts, I am proud to have seen and been part of the many changes and growth Falmouth University has gone through.
