Hi all,
I'm not certain this is the best place to post this so if it needs moving my apologies admin. I realise this is going to be a stretch but here goes.
I'm 36yrs old and have a background in media and graphic design but I've always loved photography. I studied it at college years ago and started off with an old Centon K100 and an Canon EOS 300.
Over the years I've dabbled but not got far due to many things but I keep coming back to it. I cant get an apprenticeship at my age and I cant afford to go back to university so I'm hoping to find someone who is either looking to mentor someone or who has retired from photography as a profession but still wants to pass on their skills to another person.
I have my own camera (Panasonic Lumix G80) and a few lenses as well as a tripod and camera backpack. I drive and have a car so can travel within reason and I live in Derby, East Midlands.
I'd love to hear from anyone that can help or point me in the right direction...theres only so much youtube and reading I can do. I'm much more of a hands on learner.
Many thanks for your time.
