Leamington Photographer meets Karren Brady

Leamington Dog Photographer meets Karren Brady

One thing I love to do is to meet people!

I find folk just so fascinating and to be honest as a photographer  you have to love people because even if they are not your subject enjoying being with people is key to all types of portraits.  Lately I had the pleasure of meeting Karren Brady, Alan Sugars right hand lady in The Apprentice.

She gave a very inspirational speech at the Motor Cycle Museum’s conference center near Birmingham,so not far from little Leamington Spa!  What a speech it was. To be honest I wasn’t too sure what to expect after all I am not trying to build a multi million pound business, my goal in life is to produce beautiful portraits that will hang on my clients walls for generations to come. So what did I learn? Well…. She has overcome many hurdles in her life and had to put up with intense amounts of sexism. This is something I can directly relate to with having experienced it myself. Thankfully sexism does not raise its ugly head too often these days in my line of work. She is one one very strong and savy lady! Asked “What careers advice  would you give to my teenage daughter” she suggested this website. Its well worth looking at!
