About Martin Seymour
Expertise
I have worked in most aspects of still photography, using film and the wet process for 50 years. Employing all film formats 35mm to 8x10 sizes, I went over partly to digital cameras in 02, also PC editing of pictures. I still find film work more demanding , as you have to get it right at the start with no auto settings on the camera to cover my mistakes. Pictorial work is my personal interest. Its is not a good idea for me to suggest a particular make of equipment just a type, and its uses.

HI?
You would probably have to be an established and experienced photographer in your own write.
With a good portfolio.
Then offer your services to a film company. Or make a start doing the local reps for free.
The building on that.
There is a course on media studies at my local tech this could also be a start.
