What’s the worst commercial error you have made to date?
Forgot my charger for a shoot where I was using live view which means the battery is rinsed all day!
How did you rectify the mistake?
Took the camera off live view and Catherine (my stylist) had to look throughout he viewfinder instead!
The lessons learnt?
Always pack your camera charger and spare batteries for commercial shoots!

The convention is THE event of the year. It is an opportunity for you to meet, in person, the best suppliers of our industry and see and touch the latest products which is so beneficial to get you on track for the rest of the year. You can also see firsthand current trends, listen to fantastic lectures with exceptional content, I've learned so much by attending lectures over the years. Finally one of the best things is you can network and meet up with industry friends and like minded people.
