Where did I learn? Dunno really. The technicalities from books and magazines primarily. Aesthetics from looking at all sorts of art, certainly not just photographs.

Ah! So that's why all your photos have staples photoshopped in the middle of them!

I would really need to tick several boxes (as I suspect most people would) Formal tuition for my O level course, then a combination of experience ,books and magazines-I couldn't point at a single thing and say "thats where I got it from".

No option for "parents"? I learned more from my parents than from any other source - including formal education - this applies to photography as much as it does to everything else. In the case of photography, my father was the "guilty party", my mother wasn't much interested.
^WHS^ I blame my dad! Unfortunately he can't answer back

My dad didn't teach me much about photography but he had an old box brownie and used to cobble up makeshift darkrooms when he was at sea and developed his own pictures. By the time I was interested he had lost the bug and had long disposed of his darkroom kit. I suppose this is where the seed of my interest came from but I would say I learned mostly from books and lot's of mistake making. Oh and of course Amateur Photographer.(Was that alright Damien? White fiver to the usual address)

I taught myself the basics when I was younger but gained a lot of knowledge doing a degree in photography which included work experience and the chance to try lots of different kit. That was all film based..
Now I've gone digi I've not been in a darkroom in years.. It's all a lot simpler, cleaner and dryer. Maybe the soul has been lost a bit.

I learnt at my Mother's Knee.
Or it may have been some other low joint.

Totally self taught. At the age of 18 I bought a new Spotmatic F and from that moment I was sold on the hobby.
