WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE YOUR<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY TO LEAD YOU IN THE FUTURE?<br />
I was really hoping to extend the commercial photography<br />
opportunities that have come my way into more of a<br />
regular thing, but sadly YOPD is making me more and<br />
more unreliable, not knowing if I’ll be well during a shoot, or<br />
even be able to show up in the first place. Business is serious<br />
business and it can take a lot of time, people, and effort to<br />
organise a shoot and nobody wants to be in a position of<br />
continuously letting people down.<br />
So now I would just dearly love to be able to make<br />
a difference especially from a climate crisis point of<br />
view. Life on planet Earth is a privilege, not a right, yet<br />
mostly all of us continue to abuse Mother Nature every<br />
day. If my photography is able to do this in some way<br />
it would make me extremely happy.<br />
ANY WORDS OF WISDOM TO LEAVE US WITH?<br />
It’s your image, your portfolio, your feed… if you like it –<br />
then publish it! Avoid getting hung up on what others<br />
think, as well as numbers and stats otherwise you won’t<br />
enjoy photography anymore. Proceed in a manner<br />
that works for you. Personally I have never felt the<br />
need to complete a photography course, as I believe<br />
institutionalisation stymies creativity. However, I do<br />
believe that a solid understanding of the Shutter speed/<br />
Aperture/ISO triangle is not to be overlooked as this is<br />
enough knowledge to achieve many photographic<br />
challenges. Additionally, YouTube is full of tutorials by<br />
other hobbyist photographers if you get stuck for ideas.<br />
