Well it is that time of year again when you know the new year is in full swing. One of the first major events of the year for photographers is the SWPP conference in London. This is swiftly followed by Focus on Imaging at the NEC Birmingham which starts this Sunday. It goes on for 4 days and is an opportunity for people like me to go and play with all the new gadgets and technology. Lou always packs me off with that “Off you go dear! I’m sure it is very important?”
Seriously though if you are an enthusiast or full professional it is an opportunity to see and meet new people and companies who are fully involved in the industry. For me it is a great chance to get together will old friends from around the country and share our thoughts and experiences from the last year and what people think are going to influence the industry in the coming 12 months. This also usually involves a couple of glasses of the amber nectar.
There is 3 or 4 of us going on the Tuesday and if your about then and see some strange blokes from Yorkshire be sure to say hello.
Last year we spent some time on the Annabel Williams Studio stand ‘Contemporary Photographic Training. If you going and are thinking of starting a career in photography make sure you pays these guys a visit. Catherine Connor and Jane Breakell are renowned for their business development, training and motivation skills. They have transformed the lives of many. They help Lou & I establish ourselves a few years ago and now we are one of their speakers encouraging new people just starting off.
