My love for Photography ~ By Eliza Brinkman

How did I get interested in photography? People usually think it’s because of my uncle, the famous photographer Oliver
Brinkman. Maybe you’ve seen his TV show, Pictures of the World. However, I started taking photos on a school trip. I
remember my grandma lent me her camera. When I was 16, I studied photography at college. I remember feeling really worried
about the course. I loved taking photos but I wasn’t sure how good I was. And sometimes it’s difficult having a famous uncle.
People think you’ll be amazing too! My first job for a photographer and suggested it to me. My mum said I should try and get
the job and I got it! When I arrived for my first day, I found out that an old school friend was also working there. After five years
at the newspaper, I moved to London and started a job at the fashion magazine Dream. I loved this job. I worked in a great
team; I’ll always remember how kind they were to me. I went to very interesting places and worked with some famous models.
I now have my own company, ABC Photography. I have a team of photographers who take photos for different magazine. My
newest project is a photography course that I’ve started at my company. I really want to use my experience in the photography
business to help new photographers. It’s very exciting!
