Mission Statement

Why does the internet need another website about photography? How is this one different?

The learning curve for getting into photography is steep - I had to buy books. My mission is to make the subject as understandable and accessible as possible.

And ultimately, I want to make it fun. This is a photography website with a personality.

About the author

I have just completed a physics degree and am now studying for a Master's degree in environmental technology.

When I was about 11, I went on holiday with a compact film camera. One day I pointed the camera and clicked over and over again, just to make the sound "a real camera makes".

I've been hooked ever since.
