The other two

These are my other two influental images,

Terry Richardson

Me

This is the first image I took with a SLR, my school was given some money and created a darkroom and brought some cameras, as one of only two students who took any interest in I was given a SLR to use, until I left school 3 years later, I took it on holiday and this was one of the first images I was really proud of.

I haven’t really been able to post as much as I planned this week, it has been oddly busy. I came home to Birmingham yesterday night so I could go to the focus in imaging show at the NEC, today which was quite interesting, there where lots of talks on the different stands some of them I found quite amusing. There was one photographer who kept calling his model darling, when he was demonstrating ring flash, which she really didn’t look at all happy about, so if anything I have learnt today, being condescending doesn’t get you anywhere in photography J. Listing to all these ‘professional’ photographers made me realised that I actually do know what I am doing most of the time as what they was telling me I already knew, so I think I need to be more confident with me photography and stop ‘playing it safe’.
