Aimee Tregunno
Student Photographer
Hi, I’m Aimee!
I am a 3rd year Fine Art student with a focus on photography and alternative photographic processes.
I have a love for all things within the arts, including dance, theatre, photography and music. My passion for photography comes from a love of capturing special intricate moments, especially in a performance and action context. I have previously photographed for live theatre and sporting events both within and outside of the university.
I am very excited to be working with LU Arts and to be capturing all the amazing events over the year ahead!
Kate Syniavska
Student Photographer
Hi, I’m Kate, a second-year Architectural Engineering student from Ukraine, passionate about documenting life through photography and video.
For me, photography is a favourite way to connect with people, capture wonderful moments, and find inspiration in the world around me. While I explore various genres, event photography is where my true passion lies. There's something magical about freezing emotions and memories in time that people will cherish forever.
My experience photographing Tuxedo Swing performances and other campus events has fuelled my enthusiasm for capturing the vibrant life at Loughborough University. As a student photographer for LU Arts, I’m excited to continue telling the stories of our community through my lens.

Freya Seifert Leitch
Student Technician
Hi, I’m Freya!
I am a second year BSc Product Design and Technology student, focusing on creating inclusive technologies which aim to enhance lives.
I am very excited to be joining the LU Arts team this year. I’ve always had a great interest in the arts, whether it’s visual or performance, but dance has a special place in my heart. I love how movement can be used to interpret music, convey narratives, and inspire creativity in so many different ways.
When I’m not busy with design projects, you’ll probably find me dancing, sketching, scrolling Vinted or doing some digital renders. I look forward to working with the rest of the team to contribute to the arts scene at Loughborough!
Scarlett Ross
Student Technician
Hi, I’m Scarlett Ross. I’m a third-year Fine Art student, looking forward to being this year’s student technician and working with amazing people.
As a new student technician in LU Arts, I am eager to merge my creative passion with technical expertise. My journey in the art world has provided me with a solid foundation in various artistic practices, and I look forward to using my skills in this new role. I aim to support my peers by ensuring that all technical aspects of their projects are seamless, allowing for a more profound exploration of their artistic visions. With experience working at festivals, I bring a unique perspective on collaboration and creativity, and I'm excited to contribute to a dynamic artistic environment.
When not in the fine art studio I enjoy various crafts, such as making crochet project’s and working on the pottery wheel I also enjoy keeping up with my fitness.
