Wonderful Email Received about Photographing Children by Ginny Felch


I received this email last week which brought tears to my eyes because Angela really GOT the message. Seeing the light! I have attached one of her beautiful photographs which she created BEFORE she read the book, and so I can't wait to see what she will come up with now. This photograph really demonstrates how the sculptural quality of light can enhance an image. Angela was taking advantage of using light behind her nephew, which created "rim" light around his face. Angela Stubb's has two websites, one with her photography, and one with her children's shop.

Dear Ginny

I am sure you will receive many emails like mine, but I just wanted to thank you for writing your book. I only bought it yesterday, and am not even half way through, but it is wonderful.

I have only been a 'beginner professional' for six months and whilst I am proud of my work, I have soooo much to learn and I am finding your work truly inspirational. I like to only work with natural light but even through I try , I have sometimes struggled to 'find the light' so-to-speak and yet I am already looking at the world around me with new eyes having read your first four chapters last night.

Like many photographers, I have dipped in and out of many books but your's is beautifully written, enhanced by wonderfully inspiring images and a joy to consume. I am looking forward to soaking up all that remains in the rest of the book this evening!

Sorry to gush, but you have made a real impact on me. Thank you.

Kindest regards,
Angela.

PS... I hope one day you may come to England where I can hear you speak.
