’ll never forget the line ‘You can’t be an apprentice if you don’t apply’. It’s exactly right; so I did! I applied in 2020 – before the Covid lockdown. In 2022, out of the blue, an email arrived from Editor Adam Waring, offering me the chance to spend the afternoon with professional 137). Super-excited, I jumped at the chance. After my amazing day when I was waiting for a train with Adam and Deputy Editor Mike Harris, they asked me what equipment I might buy. “Looks like I’ll be investing in some lighting,” I said and so my journey began. As I wrote in a thank you letter to the team, many of us have these ideas and are often disappointed when we don’t hear back, but not me, not this time.
