My Love for Photography
By Eliza Brinkman
How did I get interested in photography? People usually think it’s because of my uncle, the famous photographer Oliver Brinkman. Maybe you’ve seen his TV show, Picture of the World. However, I started taking photos on a school trip. I remember my grandma lent me her camera.
When I was 16, I studied photography at college. I remember feeling really worried about the course. I loved taking photos but I wasn’t sure how good I was. And sometimes it’s difficult having a famous uncle. People think you’ll be amazing too!
My first job was at the local newspaper. My neighbour heard that the newspaper was looking for a photographer and suggested it to me. My mum said I should try and get the job and I got it! When I arrived for my first day, I found out that an old school friend was also working there.
After five years at the newspaper, I moved to London and started a job at the fashion magazine Dream. I loved this job. I worked in a great team; I’ll always remember how kind they were to me. I went to very interesting places and worked with some famous models.
I now have my own company, ABC Photography. I have a team of photographers who take photos for different magazines. My newest project is a photography course that I’ve started at my company. I really want to use my experience in the photography business to help new photographers. It’s very exciting!
