Some 45 years ago I was asked at school what I wanted to be. My reply "a sports photographer".
I had 2 weeks works experience as a photographer with The Hackney Gazette. There was no sport.
I do have experience of commercial photography and working in professional black & white and colour darkrooms. Thankfully now post-processing is done with the lights on sitting at my Mac. I mainly use Lightroom as the centre of my processing. I still enjoy printing images with my own printer on fine art paper, especially the many Fotospeed papers.
I am now fortunate to get to photograph what I want, when I want.
I am the official photographer for the National League South football team Chelmsford City & also photograph the Women's & Academy teams.
I have appropriate Public Liability Insurance and a current DBS check.
