For Liz Mann's film shoot I was the stills photographer. We filmed in trenches in Suffolk, the same ones used in Downton Abbey! This shoot made me realise that photography is definitely more for me than film. I'm not exactly a people's person so when I'm allocated a certain role, I'm not great at working well with it. You need to know where to be at what time, what to do, how to do it all and it all just gets too stressful for me. Photography however, gives you so much freedom. Not only do you get to still be a part of the crew and join in with the banter but you can be anywhere, shoot whatever and I feel more confident in this role than any other. Forgotten Heroes was a great shoot to work on as there was so much material to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The actors had seen some of the photos I had taken and were asking for my card or if I had a facebook page for my photography - I had neither. It was a great confidence boost as that was a first for me.
