50 Hand Written Envelopes..


No word of a lie, I sent out 50 letters to different photographers and studios.

I got 4 replies.

Of which I was VERY grateful, I didn't really expect anything. I guess that's the best way to stop you being disappointed!

Anyway, the four replies that I did get contained a lot of information that has already been very helpful.

One letter I received was from a gentleman called Colin De Chair. www.colindechair.co.uk

He offered me the chance to go to his studio and use his lighting etc to take some 'professional' photos. I was amazed! Who would of thought someone would be so kind, a perfect stranger.

So today I went out there with my model (beautiful little Sis!) and proceeded to act like I was a high end fashion photographer! Ha. "NO darling, turn your head this way"

Colin was able to give me some fantastic advice and I came away with ideas (and a shopping list the size of Britain) and insider information that I would not of learnt on my own.

I learnt that the equipment you have is very important. So new computer it is!

Anyway I'll put up some of the photos I have taken and I hope you like...
