Over 25 years ago I was introduced to film photography and B&W darkroom developing by a friend. and It soon became an all-consuming past time.
At the time I was working nights in a restaurant as a cook which afforded me the lifestyle to shoot images during the day (on film) and developed these images at home after work at night.
It wasn’t long before my hobby became my Job when I took my hashed together portfolio of B&W 10×8′s around to countless studio’s in Brisbane, begging for any type of work and the ability to learn more.
I finally landed a job in a Wedding and Portrait studio as an assistant photographer where I worked for 2 years and learned so many valuable things including the appreciation that Photography was very much a “hands on” medium back then.
Many things have changed in the last 25yrs, and the digital revolution has opened up photography to many amazing new levels but the one thing that has remained the same is the need to capture special moments and events in peoples lives for others to see and admire.
