This is a two year course and by the end of it I hope to be in a much stronger position
professionally as I am now. I want to explore sides of photography I may not have given enough time over. I want to challenge myself to do more studio based work. Things like working with
built sets and with real models are just two things I think I should explore during this time.
I feel I haven't given things like that enough time. Also, although I have used the studio a few times by myself and with a group I would like to become much more confident with the lighting etc. I want to be able to feel I can lead a shoot from start to finish without any outside help.
My current crop of cameras are as follows. For any serious work which requires digital I use my Nikon D200. My everyday camera is a Nikon FTN which is a 35mm film camera from around the 1970's. With this I either use a 50mm/28mm or 105mm.
For my casual digital photography I use a Lumix TZ5 which I am looking to replace fairly soon with a Fuji X100.
On occasion I also use my Mamiya 645 which is a medium format camera. Due to the expense of buying and printing the 120 I rarely use that but with the darkroom here at Burton now being available to me I may have more chance to use it more. I would especially like to use it
in the studio in controlled circumstances.
