I wanted to take loads of photos, as they are not babies for long. However, me then not knowing much about photography, I didn&#8217;t realise that it was not a decent camera. So I ended up researching and got a better one. The more I learnt the more I wanted to learn. Before I had my children I&#8217;d never really used a camera and never really had one, so having my children has brought all the new adventures of photography and Photoshop into my life. I would never feel <em>me<\/em> without a camera now. Its apart of me, like my children are. It was the start of my life.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8338\" title=\"flower\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/flower.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"345\" \/><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What do you enjoy about photography?<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from taking photos of my children, I enjoy macro photography the most. I like how you can get so much of the details of the little things in the world. I have taken a lot of photos of the mushrooms that I see in the wild. I have taken photos of my children and edited the photos so the children have been sat on the mushrooms, as I love the fantasy side of any kind of art. I also found a whole new interest in Photoshop. I am a naturally arty person have always been fascinated by all different kinds of art. Since having my children I have gained an AS level qualification in Fine Art. I have also qualified with distinction in level 1 in joinery and I am currently on level 2 Joinery. So, pretty much everything I have done is relating to art in some way or another.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8345\" title=\"Capture\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Capture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"260\" height=\"349\" \/><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What are your plans for the future?<\/h3>\n<p>I have a lot of ambition for this to be more than just my life&#8217;s hobby. I am very eager, as what I have learnt so far is through Google, Youtube and hours and hours of online tutorials. I would love to work in a studio as a photographer and editor but I think that I still have a lot to learn.<\/p>\n<p><center><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8365\" title=\"sun2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/sun21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"315\" \/><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What do you plan to do with your framing voucher?<\/h3>\n<p>I have already received my wonderful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pictureframesexpress.co.uk\/frame-types\/aluminium\/69\/\"> metal gun frames<\/a> which have taken pride place of my living room, full of photos of my family.
