I’ve had a ‘proper’ camera since I was 13 and had the fortunate opportunity to work for a professional photographer in my spare time. He just happened to be the official photographer in the early years for Laura Ashley so I benefitted greatly from exposure to studio, location and darkroom experiences.
In return for spending hours in the darkroom hand printing industrial images, using pieces of coat hangers with card shapes on the end to ‘dodge and burn’ and get the correct exposure, I was given a free run of the darkroom once finished. I spent hours experimenting, trying to be creative and just learning the technicalities of photography, developing and printing.
All a bit of a waste you may say now with digital cameras, photoshop and home printing wizards available to everyone - but no, it’s even more technical now but at least I can say "in the olden days..........."!
