A Short Introduction

Hi, just a quick intro. My name is Sarah, I am a 20-something who after finishing my BA decided that, instead of doing honours or getting a job in my field of studies, I wanted make a go of becoming a photographer.

I first became interested in photography a few years ago, when I took a photojournalism seminar as part of my degree. It was during this seminar that I was introduced to some of the photography greats such as Henri Cartier and Robert Capa, as well as some of the photography basics such as the “rule of thirds”, aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I was immediately captivated, and decided to learn more in my spare time, I got an entry level SLR, did a couple of short courses, taught myself to work in Photoshop and Lightroom and started following photography blogs.

With the degree over and a basic knowledge of photography, I have taken this year to learn everything I can about photography and running a photography business. In this blog I am going to be sharing some of the tips I learn, links I find, and pictures I take along the way, as I explore the world in thirds.
