THE NURSERY, LONDON: part one


Wednesday was really an awesome day. I learnt so much, was utterly inspired and left wanting to do it all again. 

After arriving at Alexis' beautiful home in Chiswick Park, we spent the morning learning everything from the technical to the emotional and it was clear from the beginning that Tim has found his calling as much in teaching as he has in photography. He is a truly fantastic teacher. He has that ability to make complicated things seem simple, in a way only the best teachers do, and he speaks with a passion for his subject that is contagious. 

At the photo shoot after lunch, Tim's practical lesson bought to life all we had learnt beforehand and his encouragement as we each stood forward to shoot with him was reassuring and real. As I scrolled through my captures I knew something had clicked; I saw my photographs improve right then and there. The shots above are just a few of my favourites from that afternoon.

It was wonderful to finally meet Tim, Kesh and Roo in real life. They are genuine, kind and sweet people. I'm so happy we get to spend a little more time with them this weekend before they fly home to Australia and I'm so excited to continue learning how to take better pictures.

  7. You got some gorgeous photos - the colours are fantastic. It was a very good day - I haven't taken my camera off the 'M' mode yet - and somehow it just doesn't feel like that much of a big deal, you are right, Tim just made it make sense!
