It was a pleasure to have renowned photographer to the stars and film maker Simon Emmett come in for a Q&A session this week, with our Photography and film studies Sixth Form students. Simon gave a real-world account of the photography industry, how it has changed over time and what it is like to work with various stars and celebrities.

Students were interested to find out how to start in the industry, build a career and portfolio of work. By the end of the session, they had a clearer understanding of both the challenges and the enjoyment of working in such an exciting field.
