History
I love my career, and even more so, I love using my photographic and media skills to enhance young peoples learning experience. Elaine Bandele (aged 33) born in Hertfordshire, UK is of Jamaican
heritage and resides in North London.

Having worked directly with just under two thousand young people

(in London and in the Caribbean), Elaine knows and understands how young people think, feel and view the world they live in. She also understands how the nature of society today including the media and the family structure influence young people and the career choices they make.

After graduating from London Metropolitan University in 2003 with

BSc Honours in Social Research and Caribbean Studies, Elaine began her career as a progression mentor. In 2009 she allowed her creativity to flourish by starting her first business as a professional wedding photographer.

Elaine has always been passionate about working with young

people. Throughout her career, she has effectively encouraged and motivated young people; within groups and on an individual bases. As a professional photographer and radio presenter, she continues to utilise photography and concepts within mass media, to assist young people in making beneficial life choices.
