Me, the photographer
Originally uploaded by nickcummins
I arrived back in North Wales yesterday, after a 5 hour coach ride.
We went down to London with uni as part of an industry visit, talking to post-production houses, and other places.
I visited BBC TV Center on the Tuesday, and stood on the roof, I got an amazing skyline shot I'll be using for my 'Spider' film, I also found out that there is a hell of a lot of creative freedom when working for the BBC, it's not like 'do this, no, no, thats wrong', its more like 'we want this type of thing, but if you have an idea, go for it'.
Also visited some post companies which do a lot of work for Sky, Channel 4, BBC etc... also do a lot of TV ads too.
On the Wednesday, we were suppoed to be going to 3 Mills Studios, but they pulled out at the last minute, due to a client demanding absolute privacy, so my group went into the heart of London, armed with our cameras (most of us are in the uni's photography society).
I got some amazing shots, I tried to approach my photography not from the stereotypical touristy shots, but more from a personal point of view, how London works, and the people who live there.
