Lottie Davies

Lottie Davies was our guest lecture a few days ago and i found this to be one of the best ones weve had so far. many of the guest lectures simply show us too many images to process before promoting their latest book and giving us some information that often times wont apply to us until we actually have a name within the industry.

Lottie was completely different. the content provided on the powerpoint seemed not to be a random compilation of the images she had captured throughout her career but they told a story. i found it interesting to see the various types of work that she had created and where these personal projects had led. it proved to me that the ideas which i often brush off because i cant see an audience are often some of the ideas which will bring you the most work in the future. I think that some of the advice which was given is some of the most helpful so far for example, the methods which lottie has used to make her way into the industry through small projects and working as an assistant etc, this is a realistic model which i feel any budding photographer could roughly follow to a degree and find some sort of success.
