Interview with Freia Turland, photographer. Age 25. Comes from Cheltenham.

What does your job involve?
What's a normal day like?
Did you always want to be a press photographer?
How did you get into the press?
Through work experience - an important part of my university course. I managed to get my placement at the Gloucestershire Echo, a daily evening paper, and I loved it. Later in my course, for a project, I asked the paper if I could be part of their team covering the National Hunt Festival in Cheltenham (a three-day race meeting held annually) and they said 'yes'. Anyway, they liked my work and offered me a job while I was still at university. I ended up working for the Echo two days a week and going back up to university for the other three days.
