I'm a firm believer in development and progression. I would never like to think that I ever got too comfortable with what I know. Photography started off as a hobby for me, 8 years later, one BA honours degree down (which I'm very proud of) and I still feel like there is more to learn.
I first specialised in fashion when I graduated from university. I followed the path of internships, assisting photographers, setting up my own shoots. However as time went on I never really found that sense of fulfilment I wanted. Working all hours under the sun, in a very superficial industry.
Knowing I hadn't yet found my place, and I'm sure you can agree, having to make life changing decisions at 16, defining where your life will take you is somewhat overwhelming. I know that I loved all elements of photography, and it only took a short stint of working for a children's photography company that I felt I had found my calling.
FINALLY, PHEW
So that brings me to here, about to embark on a newborn photography workshop, so that I am prepared, educated and informed. I honestly can't wait to get involved with my creative side again, and working towards something I am truly passionate about. I can thank my four years on a commercial photography degree, for making me technically sound and industry savvy. Although there are some things that can only be taught from experience.
When I did my research into which company to do my workshop with, (there are many that offer similar services) I wanted to go primarily for safety and knowledge.
I booked my workshop through The Newborn Workshops.
I picked them for experience, and most importantly their core principle is posing and photographing newborns in the safest way possible.
I will be blogging about the day, the benefits of the workshop and what I take away from it.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!
