Proud to share this lovely blog post written by previous DPS student Kayleigh.

"I signed up to a beginner’s photography course in 2017 with Mark Gawthorne at Devon Photography School who also owns Evolve Photography. Mark has been a photographer for 20+ years and is so knowledgeable and extremely talented.
I shadowed Mark at a number of his weddings and the way he treats his couples, and their guests, was exactly how I wanted to be. Compassionate, caring, helpful.
Also, his photography is insane! Timeless, elegant and natural. He taught me everything I know and is still there for me if I ever need any help or advice. I will always be grateful to him for helping me with Snapdragon Photography."

Something a bit different yesterday. We spent the day helping the embarrasingly talented Katy Warriner of Warriner Leatherworks flesh out some ideas for a product shooting studio in her workshop tucked away on the edge of Dartmoor, ably assisted by her dog, 'Murphy'.

Surrounded by the racks of vintage tools that are testament to her passion for hand crafting the hides into gorgeous bespoke leather items, it's actually hard not to be inspired to pick up the camera, and even with just a worklight, a torch, one or two light modifiers, and a shared tripod, we had the time of our lives.

And I never tripped over Murphy once...

Do you have a favourite tree in Exeter? Exeter city council would like to see your photo of it!

People are being asked to take a picture of their favourite tree in Exeter as part of a photographic competition.

The best picture will win a tree – kindly donated by Devon Tree Services - and a framed photograph of the picture. There is also an under-16 category for budding junior photographers, with the same prizes donated

The competition is being run by Exeter City Council in the run up to National Tree Week – 28 November to 6 December.

Cllr David Harvey, Lead Councillor for Environment and City Management, said: “Get photographing and show us your favourite tree – Exeter has so many beautiful trees so we’d be interested to see your favourites.” 🌲🌳
