Experience with work.

My first experience with work and getting the feeling of how it is to be a photographer, was a nerve racking experience for me, I had never met the family and i didnt know what sort of people they were.

i advertised cheap weddings to get this job, when i heard they were interested it made me really happy, but i had a massive role to take on and because it was my first ever wedding i had done, i knew i had to do my best.

I shot all day for the family from the hairdressers to the reception to the evening. she wanted me to take natural and posed images and also some humour ones too.

The day went really well, there was a lot of waiting and hanging about because of talking and generally socialising it was sometimes hard to get them into the places you wanted them for family photos. overall i really enjoyed the day and it gave me a massive experience and practice on how it really is shooting weddings its a long day but a lot of fun meetin new people.

Why Photography?

At first I didnt really know what i wanted to do with in my career path, I went through phases of changing my mind. I have always enjoyed art because my dad always use to create, draw and make things all the time, I found it really interesting so I looked into starting at course at Plymouth college of art and design (PCAD). i chose to do a national diploma in art and design, which is where you have ago at everything from fashion,textiles,jewellery,glass,photography etc. I enjoyed it but not as much as I thought and i was still left thinking what do I really want to do. when we did some work in the darkroom i really enjoyed that expierence, I think I enjoyed it the most.

After my 2 year course finished i looked into applying for another course at the same college doing a degree in PHOTOGRAPHY!. I chose to do this because this is what I enjoyed most in my last course with what I had expierence of, I like how you can make an image become "photography" and there isnt really any limit to what you can take a picture of, anyone can take a picture of something, but it takes someone to understand that image and what its about that makes that image successful. the area I mostly have an interest for is probably advertising, I like all that creating and thinking stuff, which I do find a struggle but also a challenge.
