I didn’t go to photography school. I didn’t sit in a darkened lecture theatre learning about the rule of thirds from someone who hasn’t picked up a camera outside of a staff room in years. I never paid for a degree and never had a student loan looming over my head like a heavy grey sky.
What I did instead was teach myself. I went out and shot. I made mistakes, I learned from them, and I repeated the process over and over until I got good. and I must have got "okay" because I ended up photographing the Olympic Games – not once, but multiple times – no diploma needed!
