About this listen
In this Podcast, Scotland based photographer Ally Stuart-Ross mentions that she became interested in selling things before she was interested in photography.
Single mom to four children, Ally's first paid photographic job was what she describes as "the wedding from hell", and there were many funny stories at weddings to follow, like dropping the brides bouquet out of a castle window in front of all the guests, and flooding a table with coffee at a reception.
Her first "wee" camera she had at 7 years old, and discovered that she loved taking photos.
Ally was influenced by a photographer called Walter Kerr. She used to spend summers on a holiday island in Scotland and there was things going on everyday for kids to do. Bathing beauty, sand castle competitions, that sort of thing. Walter photographed everything and the next morning displayed them in his wife’s shop window. Everyone bought them and Ally thought this concept was brilliant. She felt it was literally printing money.
