About Lee
Hi, I’m Lee…
I am a passionate, pro-active, positive and perky Kiwi. Well, actually I was born and bred in the UK and my parents decided to emigrate to NZ when I was seven but I went through the NZ educational, recreational and working stages of my formative years so I most definitely have that “Can Do” and “Anything is possible if you want it badly enough” attitude to life.
I believe “Stuff” should be fun and make you happy and give that “Just want to jump out of bed every Morning” feel and if something leaves you with a feeling of dread and despair then you should just ditch the shizzle.
I believe the World should be full of Encouragers and not Critics (© Dave Willis) and that is an ethos we fully endorse at the Welshot Imaging Photographic Academy and something that I want this website Photography & More to foster for those who need a place of inspiration, encouragement and motivation to come to.
Whether you want to be a photographer, writer & blogger or just someone who wants a place to come to that is friendly, inviting and encouraging then this is the place for you – pretty much like Welshot really but this website is purely run by me, all thoughts are my own and photography my own work.
I use an Olympus E-PL7 PEN and it goes with me everywhere – it fits into my handbag, my lifestyle and my personality. I need my workflow to be simple, effective and efficient, I can’t be bothered with the phaffing of over complicated technical workings and I am never, not in a zillion, trillion years, going to be someone who spends hours upon hours in post-production. I use the Olympus Image Share App were I can download my images from my camera direct to my phone, tweaked a little and then uploaded to Social Media.
I also LOVE Snapseed on my iPad which I use constantly and I have Lightroom, Photoshop and Photoshop Elements on my computer, just not used day in day out but I acknowledge the importance of learning and knowing how to use these products – Once you get to know me and my personality you will realise why “SnapSeed and the Olympus App” suit my “Instant – Do it now” nature…
I LOVE Networking, either in person or online and I am a self-confessed Social Media and Networking Tart – I love Facebook, Instagram and Twitter – not so much LinkedIn but that’s cos I like to chat and be informal…
I love to see people smile and have fun while they learn and my biggest thrill is seeing someone have that lightbulb moment and realising that they can fly – with whatever they choose to do in life…
It is my hope that together we can make this journey and I will inspire you to go your own way, full of confidence, hope and excitement in the belief that if YOU want something you have the power within yourself to achieve whatever it is you want.
Let’s make this happen…
