Hi Ali! Tell us about yourself in two sentences - who are you?
I'm a twenty-something, 3D/CGi artist from Cumbria, England. I've always liked taking photos, I remember borrowing my Dad's DSLR when I was about 7 or 8 and going around the garden taking photos of anything and everything that caught my eye.
QWhat's the weirdest situation you've found yourself in while taking a photograph?
ATrying to get a sheep to wear a watch for an Instagram advertisement campaign.
QWhat do you shoot on? What's your favourite set up?
AAt the moment I'm using a Panasonic bridge camera. Mainly because it performs well in most situations and I don't have to worry about which lens to use. A lot of my photos are taken in the spur of the moment and in most cases if I had to change the lens, then the moment would be gone.
QWhat's your number one tip for an aspiring photographer?
AComposition and light are everything. Oh... and don't be afraid to take a thousand photos, you can always delete.

To get the photo I had to lean through the bottom of a gate while the calves focused on the two dogs that were with me.' Read less
