Henry Franks

I am a Falmouth University Graduate in Photography BA, located between Lancashire and Manchester, During education my work has been interpretative of a vast array of mental health subjects, which has landed me small awards and an exhibition within the Northern Quarter of Manchester city centre. Working with the mental health institute has given me a great insight how to incorporate and build on peoples ideas bringing people closer together. This has gone hand in hand with my ability to work with clients from a freelance perspective and now to how I work with children and young adults being an open and calming presence with exceptional listening skills and cooperation, as well as the accompanying ability to lead a group.
