MMmm this sounds kinda familiar< im 51 and have been interested in photography since i was a kid ever since i went on a school trip and took a very nice pic of a windmill with an instamatic camera... the composition was excellent, that gave me the encouragement to save up for a camera ...a Ricoh KR10 I won lots of competitions in Camera weekly, and various others.
But Life just went on by and I wish I had gone pro, Well im at a stage in my life now where im totally sick of my job as an hgv1 driver/ painter and decorator that i seariously thinking of going it alone.... BUT confidence is what sounded familier in KaiQoms (above) posting, you reallu have just got to go for it otherwise like me , you will regret it all your miserable life. in the earl;y years when i left school, i had the chance to go on board the Sea Princess cruise ship to be a ships photographer, course it was film back then and so much more to the job, it would have paid me 8,000 to see the world jeeez that was serious money then, get paid have as many women as required!! and drink as much as you like..... dont sit on your arse wondering my friend f.....g do it DO IT

Redwood in Colchester is the best lab I have ever used for quality, may be a little dearer than the mom and pop outfit ... but give them a go I use then for all my digi printing and before that all my Cibachrome stuff ..Brillient

G'day,

I am a Photographic / Graphic Design Graduate from Australia, moving over to this side of the world as of September 2011. Back home I started up my own Photographic Business called Chasing Light (www.chasinglight.com.au) where I mainly focused on pro-bono work to get myself some exposure. I worked primarily on Portraiture, both in the studio and on location.

I have had several assistant roles with a Melbourne based Photographer by the name of David Simmonds (http://www.simmonds.com.au/) which saw me shooting the 2011 AgIdeas International Design Week, L'Oral Melbourne Fashion Festival and several other smaller gigs.

I have a hunger for knowledge and commitment to everything I do. I am friendly, creative, reliable and most importantly fiercely passionate about Photography and Lighting.

If ever I can be of assistance to anyone, don't hesitate to get in contact.
My email is timjjackson@gmail.com. More than happy to send a CV to anyone who wants it.

Cheers

Tim Jackson

Don't take it personally, the online community seems to have died a death of late. Either that or they moved on and forgot to tell me. I'm not sure what I hope is the more true of those statements.

Your dilemma; I went to college did an A-Level and now I'm on the final year of my degree course. Best thing I ever did but not everyone is the same. The online resources at your disposal are staggering take advantage and have a nose around you'll find a lot. I started out just reading stuff online try www.silverlight.co.uk. I would avoid distance learning courses they aren't all they're cracked up to be.

If you need specific technical advise I can probably help otherwise the best thing to do is find images that inspire you, work out why they inspire you and build on that. Your own style is a progressive thing.
