Jill Cole came to Burton to show her work and speak about being an emerging art photographer. Jill began her photography as a second career after working for twelve years as an agricultural economist. In 2004, with two young children at home, joined Cleveland College of Art and Design, to study for a degree course and graduated in 2008.
Jill cole produced a great series called "Guns" in 2007. this was a great way of her showing what a big problem television and toy shops and games are showing guns and crime all the time in the british society in our everyday lives. jill went to great lengths to show how much "guns" were exactly shown in our children's life's, she also took photographs of shop newspaper boards with the latest story's on showing when the latest news is about gun crime.
Shortly after that, Jill went on to photograph army recruits, noticing how young they were. This work won her the Fuji film Student Awards in 2007. Jill decided to revisit one of the recruits that she had photographed a year earlier. the boy who she had documented on had since left the army and Jill made a short documentary of him.

Within the overall title of Training Land, Jill produced a third chapter of work, Birds. Within the army garrison is a nature reserve where a bird ringing programme takes place. Jill created a series of eighteen images hoping they would express what she was trying to say about the army and people caught up in war. a lot of jills work is to do with conflict i think her work is very strong and has a very strong case behind it as these are all issues that are happening in this day and age.
