My three years working as the photographer for Huddersfield Students' Union have been a whirlwind of excitement, capturing the essence of student life in all its glory. From the bustling energy of Freshers' Week to the competitive spirit of Varsity, my camera and I have been there, freezing moments in time that define our student union experience.

At the heart of it all are the events that bring our student community together. Freshers' Week kicks off the academic year with a bang, with the Welcome Fairshowcasing the vibrant tapestry of clubs and societies. Hudd Live pulses with music and laughter, while the legendary Hudd Crawl paints the town in shades of different teams dressed in brightly coloured T-shirts.

Feel Good at Hudd is where students unite in celebration and connection. The Big Get Together is a melting pot of diversity and shared experiences, while the Hudd Crawl becomes a good way for students to blow off some steam and reconnect with friends before the new year gets too hectic. Elections mark a time of reflection and renewal, as students shape the future of our union with their votes. And then there's Varsity—a showcase of sporting prowess and school spirit that ignites the campus with passion and pride.

I have been there to capture the raw emotions and unscripted moments that define student life. From the joy of victory to the quiet moments of reflection, each photograph tells a story—from victory, loss, drunken moments, and friendship.

As I look back on my time at Huddersfield Students' Union, I am grateful for the opportunity.
