Welcome to the Brighton Photography/Sarah Bird Photography blog!
Just to introduce myself – I am a professional female photographer from Brighton, East Sussex, specialising in on-location and studio portrait, fashion and wedding photography. My latest website http://www.photographybrighton.co.uk has just gone live and is a portal to showcase my photography work.
I started photographing at the age of 16 – inspired by my creative family, I bought her first film SLR camera and went off to college to study photography and media – specialising in black & white printing techniques, studio, macro and advertising photography and film. I gained a lot of commercial photography experience around that time helping at a local newspaper in their photographic department, assisting a local portrait photographer and also working at Pinewood Photographic Department developing images taken on film sets and promotional film photos.
In 1998, I went to work at Scanit – a company specialising in graphics and high-res image scanning and manipulation for magazines. It was there that I developed my photo manipulation skills using Photoshop – editing, colour correcting and manipulating photographs for magazines.
Since moving to Brighton in 2004, I have developed a great passion for portrait, fashion & travel photography – which has taken me around UK, France, Spain, Switzerland, Italy & USA.
From time to time I will be blogging about my recent photography commissions & my personal photography projects.
In 2010, I am starting a new personal photography project called “I Love My Home” where I will be travelling around UK photographing individuals & families in their home – I’m on the look out for people who are particularly proud of their home – maybe they have lived there all of their life, have built their own home, have restored an old wreck or have an interesting story to tell about their home. If you know anyone who fits the bill – please get in touch with me.
Anyway! Enough of my ramblings! I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I’m sure I’ll enjoy writing it!
Sarah
