So this is a little embarrassing but in a nice way. I shared a few of my experiences of moving from words to photography on BBC picture editor Phil Coomes’ Viewfinder blog today, as part of his weeklong series featuring different perspectives from the world of photojournalism – a term I personally dislike as I find it fairly pretentious and frequently misused. Other commentators so far are all far more experienced than me: Adrian Evans, head of Panos Pictures, Prof David Campbell and the New York Times’ Michael Kamber. It feels quite uncomfortable to bare my soul like that but I’m flattered to have been asked. Thank you Phil.
