Angela Thompson DPAGB, BPE5*
I started my photographic journey in the darkroom, developing black and white photographs.
When I purchased my first digital camera it was like heaven, as I could then stop using nasty smelling chemicals.
Photoshop was soon loaded on my computer and I was amazed at the possibilities, although very overwhelmed by its complexity. Many Photoshop hours, books and training videos later; it is still my tool of choice.
In the act of striving for creative and unique composition I try to see and not just look, often asking myself ‘what if’ and not obsessing about the latest kit and gadgets.
I have always tried to improve and develop my skills in image making. This has lead to me recently achieving my accreditation of the British Photographic Exhibitions 5 Crown Award (BPE5*).
There are so many paths yet for me to explore, so I hope to have years of pleasure in the future from my hobby.
I currently use a Nikon Z6II camera.
