I’ve had a posh new photograph portrait taken now that I’m only a month away from the publication of my novel. Even though I’m not known to be shy and retiring, I actually dreaded having to sit for this because I always get embarrassed and highly self-conscious in front of the camera. Anyway, my publisher, Ward Wood Publishing, approved it and I just went for it in the spirit of going to the dentist. Actually, I didn’t have to go anywhere, the photographer, Brighton-based David Myers came to my house here in Lewes, UK, on a dark wet Monday morning just as I was recovering from the lurgey and quietly turned the place into a photographic studio. My fear disappeared immediately. I think Mr Myers has a genius for these things. Actually it was fun even though the whole process took about three hours.
I was very pleased with the results and would recommend him to anyone even the most camera-shy.
I like him even more now, of course, because he’s written about the experience from his point of view on his blog. Thanks again David, great job. Here’s the link:
yep, I had that done too. kind of fun. Kind of weird. But your photo looks great. very professional in an accessible sort of way, which is just right.
Hi Sue, glad you like it. Thanks.
