Neil Catley - Coventry

LOCAL ARTIST

Neil is a freelance street and architecture photographer known for capturing long exposure shots of Coventry's iconic landmarks.

Neil is the founder of Confidence Through Photography, a community group that enables people with anxiety and mental health difficulties to meet new friends and practise taking photos.

"I love doing freelance stuff now and again but my true passion is helping people in the same boat as me. I have mental health problems and will have for the rest of my life.

I've had it hard but I'm pleased to say I think I'm stepping forward in my life with Confidence Through Photography and my own artistic work. It's nice to know that I'm getting known for my photography.

For me, photography brings me hope. I treat photography as my medication. It really helps me to focus and be me."
