I thought why not try doing photography - be creative, meet different people, see different things, it seemed to solve my dilemma. I found that I really liked the work and people liked my pictures, so in a way it was an experiment that worked. after that a lot of the paid stuff I do is commercial photography. I suppose it is like many other creative processes - you assimilate pictures and images t
hat are around you, see what other people are doing, get a feel for what is on trend, mix it up with your own input, and produce images that are unique to you. I’m really privileged to see so many different sides of life.There is also the amazing feeling when you feel you’ve taken a great picture. I never envisaged that I would have been a photographer… but here I am and loving it. I’m just enjoying the journey and trying to keep striving forwards.
