During my second year at AUB, part of our unit we had to do work experience. I contacted The Lymington & New Milton Times and asked if they would allow me to shadow one of their employees as a photojournalist, Dee. I spent a few weeks with her, attending matches (mostly hockey and football) around New Milton. I learnt a lot of different techniques required for sports photography, especially putting them into my own practice, as well as discussing with Dee throughout working with her. Dee allowed me to have some free range whilst being at the matches, and after I would send over the images to her where the photo editor would edit them with informational text. A couple of my images did end up getting printed in the local newspapers.
