“Oh wow, that’s really good. Come and have a look Lauren, he’s got a really good camera!”


At the time when Harriett made this comment I wasn’t particularly bothered. However, the more I thought about it, the more I came to realise that, in general, people have a belief that a ‘better’ camera will give them a ‘better’ picture. While that may be true, in part, the work of the photographer gets overlooked a lot of the time.

You’ve probably come across this one before:
"A photographer went to a dinner party where he showed many of his photographs. The lady of the house said, those are very nice pictures, you must have a great camera. He said nothing, but when leaving for home offered the following compliment to the lady of the house 'The meal was very nice, you must have a great stove.'” (!)

Both Harriett and Lauren work at the Vivienne Westwood store. I could have posted portraits from either person, they both had that certain style about them.
