It pays to get better, and getting better pays!!


I am a great believer in continuous improvement, and it doesn't matter how well you think you are doing, there is always something new to learn.  And with this ethos, for the last 6 weeks, I have been on a fantastic course run by Dylan Baker in Durham, to help develop the photography skills in areas that I normally would never consider.  For example, as a wedding photographer, you don't get the luxury of waiting for the right light, a team of make-up artists retouching every 10 minutes for that flawless complexion, lighting assistants moving large lighting rigs around, and 30 minutes to compose the right shot with professionally trained models.  You just gotta know how to pose people, and capture the moment in a unique and engaging way.  On the course we did just that (apart from the make up artists!!).  Models, lights, ideas, and TIME to think about what you were trying to do.  One photo attached.  So, if you are into photography, and want to try your hand at something new, I would recommend Mr Baker's course to anyone.  Yes, cheque will be fine Dylan, thanks!
