I'm a graphic designer. For years I've briefed photographers and selected their work without the ambition to move towards their standards in my own images, which were mostly snapshots. I bought a digital camera two years ago and this allowed me to develop (pardon the pun) without fretting over the cost and frustration. What made the real difference is the potential to turn indifferent images into something better by using Photoshop. Every image on my Flickr site has been post-produced to some extent and each is stronger than the raw image. See more of my work on www.saundersimaging.co.uk
