Chasing the Elements - July 2021

BEHIND THE CAMERA
Andrew Smith, Landscape and Fine Art Photographer (top image)
"I started off my photographic life utilising 35mm film cameras at school.
I learnt my first skills working on drama projects in the late 1980's taking
the image from the set to the darkroom. Later I furthered my skills in
photography and my knowledge to create media for marketing and digital
distribution during my time at university. Now I work with a 35mm full
frame digital camera setup to create various different types of images
from landscapes to portraits, in whatever locations fit the purpose of the
shoot."

"I decided to become a landscape photographer because I love to show
people the things I enjoy. I am a history buff, which means there will be a
LOT of historical buildings featuring in my photography. Photography
has allowed me to grow in confidence and push myself to do things I
normally wouldn't do. When I am not wandering the outdoors, I am busy
raising my 5 year old boy, Noah."
Lisa Smith, Brains Behind the Business (bottom image)
"My main role in the business is behind the scenes looking after the
finances and sourcing the equipment needed so our two photographers
can create stunning images for everyone to enjoy. I also find locations
and subjects that are exciting to pair with upcoming weather
phenomenon so we can get the best from our images. It has come to that
time in my life when it's more important to enjoy living rather than
existing, and Sassenach Photography allows me time to do that"
