What is your name?
Trevor Coultart.
What sort of photography do you do?
Bit of a mixture. Mostly observational stuff. My personal work has tended to focus on textures and details, but I've noticed I'm increasingly photographing people, which is changing the way I see things.
How long have you been shooting?
On and off, about 35 years, but for most of that times it's been nothing more than a hobby. After 25 years in office work, however, I'm now on my second year of a photography degree as part of the search for a more fulfilling way of earning a living. Wish me luck.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
Having shot most of my life on basic compact cameras, the whole "gear" thing is a bit of a novelty so my favourite tends to be the most recent addition to my kit at any time. Which right now means my newest lens: a Tamron 10-24mm that's been on my Canon 40D pretty much ever since I got it.
Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.
I'm in lots of places, and you can find links to all if them at www.coultart.com/trevor
Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
Live in Hertfordshire, England, and am studying at the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield.
Is there a Twitter account you would really like to see take over @WeRPhotography for a week?
Not really, so I'll use this space to recommend everyone follow @petapixel which is constantly a great source of photography news and inspiration.

Week 45 - Harry
What is your name?
Harry Guinness.
What sort of photography do you do?
I like to take shots of interesting people. I've worked with a lot of Dublin's street performers. I'm also doing a personal series of portraits of Dublin's homeless. I've also got another personal project working with bodybuilders while they work out. Having said that, I generally try to have my camera with me wherever I am so I shoot landscapes when the opportunity presents itself.
How long have you been shooting?
About two years.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I love my Canon 40mm lens. It's so small that it adds no noticeable weight to my camera and it's so versatile. Especially for the street stuff, I can get in really tight for portraits or go wide for more environmental shots and it just nails it.
I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention my love for Peak Design and Triggertrap. The leash and cuff are the best straps imaginable. I generally just use the cuff and have my camera in hand when I'm walking about the city. Triggertrap's mobile dongle is a hell of a lot of fun.

Week 44 - Tara
What is your name?
Tara Sutherland
What sort of photography do you do?
Underwater and Landscape.
How long have you been shooting?
Just over 10 years.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I don’t think I do have a favourite right now. All my gear is loved equally although I do take a lot of pleasure from putting together my underwater rig and having it nestled in its box all ready to get wet.

I live in New Zealand - in the North Island. My country is probably the reason I got in to photography as our scenery just begs to be documented (and I can’t draw to save myself!)

Week 43 - Robert
What is your name?
Robert Catto.
What sort of photography do you do?
I’m a freelance photographer specialising in performing arts and live events. I used to be a lighting designer for theatre, dance, opera etc - so I fell into photography from there, after trying to build a portfolio of my own work for myself.
How long have you been shooting?
At all? Since about 1989 when my dad gave me his old Canon FT-b and a bag of prime lenses to take to university, which I gradually upgraded to a T-90 that came travelling with me in 1996. Professionally, full time since 2002.
What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I’m pretty in love with my Fuji X-Pro 1 kit (18/35/60mm lenses included) - it brings back some of the simplicity of that first camera I got handed down to me.
