Meet Jamel...
Throughout my photography journey there have been many photographers who have gave of their experience and knowledge. To mention all of them and how they helped I would be here for a while, I thank you all for your continued help and critique.
A special mention goes out to Jamel Gittens who has been always willing to assist with my photography. A sharp eye for detail and light. I met Jamel through the BPS field trips and the online banter with other members of the Photographic Society. Various trips would result in either of us shouting the other with hails like “Look at the big fish” or “Let me put up my camera since you here” over time we realized that we are actually related… I have to sit down and look at that family tree.
Game Face ON!!
Jamel has been always willing to help me with the lighting and offering his suggestions on another way to light a subject. Over time we have been assisting each other with shoots and offering little tips and tricks. Now we just call out terms and we know what the other is looking to achieve. The common goal being to push each other to be the best, I have lost track of the number of shoots he has assisted me with but what I do know, every shoot with Jamel assisting has been one to cause eyebrows (saw what I did there) to be raised with favourable comments when the images are released on social media.
