A day at the offices of Practical Photography and Digital Photo Magazines

In July thanks to GoThinkBig and the lovely team at Bauer Media's Practical Photography and Digital Photo magazine I got to spend a day at their offices to get an insight into how the magazines work.

When I first got the email saying I'd be chosen for this GoThinkBig opportunity I was so excited! Not only would it give me an insight into a different field within the media but it was also directly related to photography.

During my day at the offices in Peterborough I got to assist and take some product shots of flashes and memory card readers to be featured in the magazine, and even modelled...as a photographer having your picture taken feels sooo weird. You spend so much time on the other side of the camera that when you're in the other position you feel a bit out of your comfort zone. Nevertheless I felt I should throw myself into everything this opportunity gave me and my face even ended up in the September issue!

I cannot thank the team at Practical Photography and Digital Photo enough, even though it was only one day I had so much fun and it gave me the chance to get involved photo-wise and even practice my writing skills. It opened my eyes even more to the fact that I really do want to and need to write more, hence why I'm trying to write more detailed blogs and get used to writing!

You probably won't ever see many photos of me on this blog but here's the pages from Practical Photography featuring my face shot by the lovely Tim Berry who just so happens to be a fellow brummie photographer.
