On the 23rd April we had Tony Cobley come in to talk about himself as a proffesional photographer and how he had got to where he is today. I found this interesting because it gave me some insight into what I could do. He works in many different aspects of photography those being propery and location, food and drink, education, events and PR, wellbeing and leisure, Industrial, technical and product and also portraiture. He also works on personal projects his current one being a study of the dartmoore ponies.
As for what kit he uses he seems to favour elincrom flash heads, this is something we have used at college and also sound like a good thing to invest in at some point. Here is Tony Cobley's website: http://www.tonycobley.com .
After our lecture with Tony we were asked to go and take a portrait shot on location, whilst trying to show people in their context. So we booked out a Quadrea Ranger Kit, softbox, lightmetre, Nikon D200 and a reflector and headed to the library to take some photographs. Here is my image of Charlotte Nicholls taken in Plymouth College of Art's Library. We made sure that it was okay to take images before we started so that the librarians knew what we where doing.
