Michael Turner - Speakers’ Corner In 1982 I completed a degree in animal and plant ecology (which of course has proved very useful in my career as a portrait photographer!). Four years later I became a freelance photographer working for local papers and PR agencies. I discovered I really just enjoyed meeting people and photographing them. I worked from a tiny office at the back of my father’s business premises and had use of a darkroom there. Over the next couple of years I shot over 200 weddings for my father’s business but this was the only connection between the two businesses. I started my own portrait studio in 1992. Studio baby promotions were great fun but very hard work – but eight years of baby shoots have provided ongoing repeat clients and referrals ever since. Today’s babies are tomorrow’s lifestyle shoots. For the past two years I have been giving seminars for The Societies. My father was a very keen black and white enthusiast and I had my own Agfa Silette camera to use on holidays and school trips. Once, at the top of Snowdon we were actually above the clouds – I was so excited I used up almost all of the film in about five minutes.

A perfect combination of fast access and all-weather protection, the Primus AW was built for the backcountry. Rugged construction with a recycled, water resistant outer fabric and a seam-sealed AW cover protects gear. This pack also conforms to a variety of body types with an adjustable 8-point harness system giving the adventure photographer exceptional comfort under heavy load. The lumbar-equipment access point keeps the bag off the ground when digging for equipment in either of the two padded compartments. Gear retrieval is further complimented by a side access zipper that gives the user quick camera access without taking the bag off. Combine that with pockets and features that are made for todays adventure photographer and the Primus AW delivers adjustable comfort with tough camera protection.
