I've been DarkStarSomething ever since my 17th birthday, so almost 6 years now!
I love language (hence my videos) and oxymorons were a thing for me at the time, so I started writing a story called Dark Star when I received a laptop for my birthday. It kind of stuck - and all because I was looking to fill the time while I waited for my internet connection to get sorted out! I was DarkStarPoet for ages because I wrote poetry for many years, and so DSP or simply DarkStar were how people came to know me.
When I took up photography in 2012, I couldn't think of a name and went for Dark Star Photography. It ended up turning into a name I loved. I'm DARKSTARPHOTO or DarkStarPhotoUK on my photography social networks now.
I started up my YouTube channel in May and wanted to teach photography and offer editing tutorials, but a few weeks in, I realised I wasn't happy with limiting myself to a single subject, so I rebranded and became DARKSTARMEDIA 2 months later. Now I teach photography, language and a little bit of everything else!
