Largely self-taught, I’m a strong believer in lifelong learning. Brought up on film cameras, I had to learn composition in camera (no cropping or post-processing) and progressed from black and white film (which was cheaper!) to colour once I could get this right. I was only a youngster then and my parents had to pay for the films and processing, but it taught me a good lesson.
Fast-forward to the 21st century and 2013 which was when I converted to digital. It was a steep learning curve to find out the wider options of digital photography and all about editing and processing on a computer.
Since then I’ve avidly read blog posts, magazines and books, done several online courses and I’m still learning and trying out new ideas.
