Confidence

In March 2025 I wrote a blog about my experience at the “Photography and Video Show”

What I forgot to mention is that during the Show I became a paid member of two photographic societies.

Now for full disclosure I don’t tend to talk much at all about my disabilities because of having to deal with historical negativity around disclosure but those who are close to me know I’m on the Autism Spectrum and I’m also Dyslexic and Dyscalculic and now you know too. I have always been fascinated by photography ever since I was a kid. I got my first digital camera in 2004 and during COVID an ex-partner of mine got me back into Photography, she was a pro, I certainly wasn’t. I kept persisting with photography over the years, I kept buying new lenses, second hand cameras and in 2024 I made the leap over to Mirrorless camera systems.

In 2025 I have been very fortunate enough to travel to some amazing countries and finally I plucked up the courage to enter a photo into the Annual DPS exhibition. When I’m allowed to say more I’ll provide an update on what that means but for now I would advise others if your thinking of entering a photography competition do it! But avoid vanity/paid-for exhibitions as they don’t tend to lead to particularly great results.
