    School photographer appalling

    School is probably the worse environment in the world. I remember every year my school had their group photo and once it was put on display I was always scratched out. The photo wasn't ever changed... I understand the emotional stress those kids felt, I just hope they realise school sucks and...

    WhatsApp

    It works on the laptop just like on the phone. So, you're right, if you want a person outside your contacts then you need their number.

    Uk state pension question

    I am 33, and seeing this post made me check mine, wow I need a higher paying job haha.... Although I am likely not to live to 71 (if it does go up to that), I really need to start paying more into my private pension and understand the best way to invest.

    School contracts

    Enhanced DBS check, a portfolio, schools are most likely to use local professional studio photographers - if they don't have internal ones, public liability insurance, decent gear. Likely also need some type of consent form. Might be better off grinding your way though offering photographic...

    Apple mini Mac M2 for Lightroom and limited PS

    If you're to get one second hand, it's always worth confirming with the seller it is no longer attached to the sellers (or anyone elses) apple account and then re-install the operating system once it arrives. Perhaps I am paranoid, but the industry I work in, it's all about privacy and...

    Photographers Block?

    Apologies for the delay, I have been drafted onto ISO accreditation team at work.... It's vile.... Yeah, I think it comes to the whole spending too much time on social media, for me it is anyways. I have stopped following other content creators and started to concentrate on my own stuff...

    Photographers Block?

    I know exactly what you mean, I think it is a thing. I have something similar, I have been doing photography since 2006, I should be better than I am. I kick myself as my terrible shots.... I then put the camera down for month if not years and then when I pick it up again I make the same...
