About Benedict Brain
Benedict Brain is a UK-based photographer, journalist and artist. He is an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society and sits on the society’s Distinctions Advisory Panel. He is also a past editor of Digital Camera Magazine, and the author of You Will be Able to Take Great Photos by The End of This Book.
In the early summer, I started a Master’s program in photography, and by the late summer, I had also taken on a part-time role as a lecturer in photography at Nottingham Trent University. So I suddenly found myself simultaneously being a student and teacher, creating an interesting dynamic. As a consequence, I’ve found myself revisiting Roland Barthes’ seminal text Camera Lucida both in the classroom and in my MA studies.
