SPECIAL FEATURE: in Learn To Succeed this issue Gavin Stoker takes an in depth look at the increasingly important area of professional training.

Turning Pro is wedding photographer Alison Buchanan. Formerly a Production Assistant at the BBC, and in full time practice for just a year, after first covering weddings for friends, she says, “just going to weddings and being a good photographer wasn’t enough - I needed to know more about all that being professional entails - the pricing structure, the album design, everything: so I went and trained"
Starting out: Sarah Brimley graduated in Commercial Photography at Bournemouth in 2010 and feels that finding someone to assist is a bit like dating. “You need to find someone that you click with, otherwise you just won’t enjoy it”, she explains. Brimley clicked with celebrity portrait photographer Chris Floyd which in turn led to the unique opportunity - an assisting job with David Bailey.
