Week 49 - Emma

What is your name?
Emma White.

What sort of photography do you do?
Landscapes, Seascapes, nature and travel mostly, although I like shooting sports and have started to do more ‘people’ shots of recent times.

How long have you been shooting?
I think that I have always had a camera but it got my first dslr in about 2005 – an Olympus – for our backpacking trip. Then in about 2007 I picked up a Nikon D40x and I did a few classes at the local photography school and have been getting more serious ever since.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
mmmm gear #dreamyeyes .. my camera of course a recently acquired Nikon D7100 (are you seeing a pattern). I also love my BlackRapid strap and my 9 stop variable filter. I seem to have a thing about bags – bags that don’t do what I want or need them to do. Which reminds me I need to sell some – anyone want a bag ???

Where do you live and work? You can be as specific as providing your lat-long coordinates, or as vague as "planet earth".
Paradise! Otherwise known as Newcastle, NSW Australia, a beachside coastal regional metropolis about 1.5hr to the north of Sydney (we are the 1st or 2nd largest non-metro city in the state), surrounded by beaches, vineyards, mountains and farms. We are truly blessed to live where we do.

Is there a Twitter account you would really like to see take over @WeRPhotography for a week?
hmmm that’s a hard one because I’m guessing guys like @colbybrownphoto; @Lekrom; @gdanmitchell all barely have time to scratch themselves let alone curate another handle :-) !!! um so whoooo else would I like to see … actually in all seriousness I’m keen for anyone because I love the variety of styles and info that we get every week.

Week 48 - Sophia

What is your name?
Sophia Banks.

What sort of photography do you do?
These days I do wedding photography. I would like to be doing more fine art photography but my ideas and projects are ambitious these days and would be expensive to create. I really love being able to paint a scene with strobes.

How long have you been shooting?
I took up photography about 8 years ago and worked as photo assistant for a few years. I have been a wedding photographer for about 4 years now.

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
I am partial to the Canon 24-70 2.8 for the most part. My dream camera is the Leica M9 with a 35mm lens. I got to use one a few times when I was assisting.  

Where can we find you? Twitter account/s, blogs, galleries, any and all web presence that you feel comfortable sharing.

I have an art series represented by Galeri Sakura 
I am on twitter with the handle @SophiaPhotos but I mostly talk about trans liberation there.

Week 47 - Stewart

What is your name?
Stewart Baird.

What sort of photography do you do?
Landscape, nature and people (some weddings).

How long have you been shooting?
Hard question to answer… my first camera was a Polaroid in 1980, first SLR was an Olympus OM-30 back in ’84.  I really got back into photography about 5 years ago with my first DSLR - I love digital!

What's your favorite piece of gear? (for example, Lens, Bag, Camera, Tripod, anything you really love to work with)
My Canon 5D Mark III with a 24-105mm attached is probably it!  But I now have an Olympus OM-D EM-5 + 14mm on my person basically all the time and I love how that allows me to shoot, edit and upload on the go (using Eye-FI card and an iPhone).
