Another tiring week..

So this week has been a little empty of Photographic opportunities , mostly as it has been spent in a house that is being decorated so not great for relaxing or keeping the energy up for much else.

With that in mind I’m heading off to the Photography and Video show at the NEC in Birmingham on Saturday , here there will be the opportunity to hear from some of the photographers whose work I admire and also to spend time looking at all of the different and wonderful things to help with creating more images going forwards. It also offers the opportunity to see how others are using equipment to make their images and to learn from a wider group of professionals.

For me the show is also an opportunity to take images as there are always some incredible models available , whose time would normally be out of my budget and that is a genre of photography that I really am not great at - portraiture. I think my issue with portraiture is that it involves telling someone how they should look which I find difficult to do…anyway something else to practice.

One thing this year I will look to avoid is buying too many things , mostly I have everything I need to capture the images I want, it is the time and energy that is missing mostly and that is something I need to put more effort into…

Anyway onwards to the show…
