My first “job” as a photographer was shooting the school netball team when I was 11. I had no idea what I was doing, I just copied what I’d seen my dad do—I panned the camera with the movement of the players, and the flash froze the action, creating a motion blur effect. Seeing that image come up on the paper in the dev tray was a moment of magic. I’m not sure if the print still exists, but the negatives will be somewhere in the archive.
