Here’s my problem with it though. If this were a drawing class, the teacher could go behind the student, pick up a charcoal, mark their paper and say look at this. Most photography classes don’t do photography in class. They talk about photography.

INTRODUCING PAULINE MAGNENAT-FUCHS
I come from Geneva, Switzerland but I’ve been living in London for a year now, I go to Camberwell College of Art. Geneva is nice, but I don’t miss it at all.
I’m 21. I started taking pictures seriously about six years ago. It was mostly portraits of my sister. What I was really interested in at first was the art of portraiture, and I still think it’s one of the themes I want to explore through photography. When I started taking pictures I think I just wanted to make good portraits of my beloved ones. I want to take the best portraits of the ones I love. I think when photography becomes a passion you can’t help but be aware of everything all the time. For this I think my vision of things has changed since I started taking pictures. Without photography I wouldn’t really know what to do all day long. I have been shooting with a Mamiya 7 for almost a year now, and even though it’s heavy and rather slow because of the rangefinder, it’s a beautiful camera nonetheless. This is a portrait of my girlfriend Clarisse taken during our summer holidays. We fought a lot during the time we spent there, but because of this we are now closer than we’ve ever been. She hates this photograph. Will Govus is one of my favorites photographers. His photos are technically perfect and they have an emotion rarely to be seen. I adore his work.
