About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

Fashion brief

I have been doing lots of research for the fashion brief I intend to carry out.

Fashion photography is not a particularly interesting subject area for me. I'm more interested in informal photography. But my tutor suggested trying to push yourself into a new area & in my opinion this is a good idea. I'll not get the chance again.

The research is going very well so far. I have managed to find 2 willing models, a stylist / make up artist and even props if I need them.

To help all 4 people (myself included) communicate with ease. I have created a private Facebook group. This has helped everyone feel more involved and has worked very well as an ideas platform. I feel the biggest advantage will be that everyone will feel as though they know each other a little bit before the photography has even started.

The other advantage is that everyone has put ideas forward. Most people in the group have suggested ideas, posted inspiring images, etc.

I have posted some of the images posted by the group below
