Duke of Edinburgh Awards : Photography

All the photographs on this blog were taken by me; there is the one exception; when Katy does a shoot she gets to post here. And I might show a set up shot with me in it taking the photo, obviously someone else took that. But that being said, I take the shots.

But this time all the photographs in this post are by someone else; Rosie. Let me explain, about a month ago I was asked by a good friend of mine, Chris, if I would be interested in mentoring his daughter Rosie while she is doing her Duke of Edinburgh Awards in Photography Well, I was delighted to say yes and honoured to have been asked in the first place. Rosie is starting off in her photographic career, as it were, and at this time it is vital to get a good grounding in the technicalities but also the vision to see the bigger picture.

The photographs that Rosie has taken show a great understanding of this. The photographs here have drama, movement, depth and beauty. This is what you get when look and really see.

Again, all these photogtaphs were taken by Rosie, and I think she has done exceptionally well, seeing pictures where others might not. I for one am looking forward to seeing the next shoot. Well done Rosie!

  2. Well Done, one can learn the technical but the vision has to come from within. Wonderful perspective and vision. She's going to do great!

  3. Kelley hit the nail right on the head; the technical side of things can be taught but the vision and creativity, well...that's a whole different ball game.

    Great work Rosie and very refreshing to see things through your eyes that most would take for granted.

    Best wishes to you,
    Glyn
