While at university, formally UCE (University of Central England) now BCU (Birmingham City University) I studied Visual Communications specialising in Photography and even more specific Documentary Photography. Looking back at my hard drive with only a small section of my work from back in 2007 I found my inspiration. A LIFE magazine and Magnum photographer W. Eugen Smith. Once I found his work and spent hours reading his books I felt this was the kind of photography that I wanted to produce myself. Images that would tell a story.
Here is a little taste from two of his photo essays that were published in LIFE magazine in America.
Country Doctor (1948) and Nurse Midwife (1951)
