I really enjoyed the Layla Sailor talk although I have never wanted to be a commercial photographer or fashion photographer I have learnt a lot from her talk. I have always thought there was a huge difference between being a practising artist and being a fashion/commercial photographer, but its the individual artistic difference they bring to each shoot that gets them the work.
I don’t know why I had never thought about artists working commercially, I feel like I have taken my blinkers off and am now looking at other fashion photographers and appreciating their artistic input.
Layla was really down to earth and explained her journey in a way that gave me confidence to be a little more experimental and be bolder in my choices.
