ArticleArt and creative design
Tom works in logistics during the day. Since his course he photographs weddings and corporate events at the weekend.
"I had been taking photos for ten years, but always on automatic," Tom laughs. "In the first lesson we had to switch to manual and never go back. That was a shock."
The hardest part was not the technique, but learning what to charge for my work.
