The fear and not taking photos!

I'm trying to get my photo mojo back but finding it difficult. Also, my fear of meeting new people is at an all time high.

However, I was wondering if any people out here were interested in arranging a meet in B'ham (photographers and models - Janet and Nick as they are Midlands based, my wife Linda as well) to carry out some photo shoots? This would take place in Digbeth, away from shoppers and the general public? There are some lovely canals and industrial places to shoot.

It would be respectful (to both models and photographers), not a hook up thing and perhaps meet up for lunch or dinner after?

I was thinking around May 2019 when the weather gets better and I was hoping that Ray might be up for this and tutor us as to how to shoot decent photos?

Just putting the idea out there? If no one is interested, that's cool :)

Thoughts?

I personally think your photos are excellent.
It would be nice but for myself May is a no no as both Colleen and I are away in a rainy country (Ireland!!)
I hope that people are kind to you.
Best wishes.

Sounds like a fun idea

As the others have said Linda and you produce great images together so I'm not sure if I could do any tutoring but I'd be very happy to work alongside a small group of others

Hopefully we can find dates suitable to everyone so Paul & Colleen could join us
