CLAIRE JOHNSON PHOTOGRAPHY

I have always loved photography. The earliest memory I have is my dad taking pictures of the family with his huge Canon camera. Of course in those days you had to wait for the film to be developed and half the pictures were no good! But I was just fascinated with the entire process. Sometimes my dad would give me his camera and I think that's where my love of capturing natural expressions and moments comes from. My parents still have some of my earliest work up in their house, obviously now I'm highly critical about angles and lighting, but for a kid they're quite good!... My creativity grew over the years and photography allowed me to express this. I wanted to learn more, so I studied it at Uni and achieved a BA (hons) in photography. I began my professional career at Venture as a photographer. I quickly gained a professional in-house diploma and worked my way up to studio manager and trainer for the south east. I really enjoyed it but it was time to move on and start my own..
