Our Transparency event with Radim Malinic is documented by Suzanne Heffron, a freelance photographer based in Edinburgh.
Can you tell us a little bit
about yourself?
I’m an Edinburgh based photographer with a background in arts and events management. I first studied photography when I left school before returning to it full time a few years ago.
What inspired you to first pick up a camera?
I always liked taking photographs but a talk at an ECA open day when I was 17 made me consider it more seriously.
What subjects are you most drawn to?
People.
What is your favourite gear you’re using at the moment?
I’ve just got myself a Fuji X-T1; it’s more compact than most of my other gear and means I can have it with me all the time.
Can you list a few of your favourite creative resources?
British Journal of Photography; Wallpaper Magazine; Guardian Online photography section
Please tell us the story behind one of your favourite photographs.
This has always been one of my favourite images from a recent
project working with dancers. Despite a session fraught with technical
difficulties everyone involved persisted and this was one of the final shots
from the day – always a good reminder to not give up!
