"Photography posing can be stressful and sometimes overwhelming when you have so many other things to worry about at a shoot…equipment, camera settings, lighting, and communicating with the client.

"If you were wondering how they create movies such as Wallace and Gromit or those funky Lego shorts on YouTube, your search is over! Although creating stop motion animation is not difficult, it is time-consuming, repetitive and requires patience. As long as you're keen, this makes a fantastic hobby and can sometimes even grow into a career."
