About Mikael Barnard
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I have much experience in photographing events and my most specialist area of knowledge is alternative photographic processes. I may well answer questions on broader topics of photography but only if my sphere of knowledge extends to the question in hand. Please feel free to ask away though!

Experience
I have both a GCSE and an A-level in photography and much experience with event photography, I now persue photography as a hobby.

Education/Credentials
GCSE photography- B. A.S. Level- C. A-Level- D- nothing wrong with my work, seems the exam board are pretty narrow minded when it comes to alternative photographic processes :-(
