Meet Our Volunteers: Gemma!
“All these photographs were taken when I have been on walks. I love the different seasons, how the light changes and spotting animals in their natural state.”
Q. How did you get involved with Clydesider Camera Club?
A. I got involved with the Camera Club after doing a Photography project, meeting Charlie and doing a taster session with the Clydesider.
Q. What do you enjoy about being part of the Club?
A. I've enjoyed meeting new people which has always been hard for me, finding other people who enjoy photography just as much as me. Seeing everyone's photos always makes me happy and the different ways they capture all sorts of everyday life.
Q. When did you become interested in photography and what do you like about it?
A. I've always enjoyed taking photos but started to really enjoy photography when I was part of the Reflections of Me: Stepping Stones project. It showed me a new way of taking photos which also helps my anxiety and seeing photos in a new light. You can tell a story through a photo or give emotion through a photo.
Q. Do you have any advice for people thinking about volunteering?
A. My advice would be to give it a go, I would never have thought to try as I've always been anxious, but it's helped in ways that I am so grateful for.
Q. What's your favourite biscuit?
A. My favourite biscuit is a fight between two - a plain old tea biscuit for dipping and a fruit shortcake
