About Emma Millen

My love of the sea and the great outdoors was what first prompted my interest in photography. Then I inherited a box of old camera's from a relative including a 1950's Leica M3 35mm film camera. After figuring out how they all worked I headed out to take some shots and began learning about 35mm film photography.

I surprised myself when the first roll of film came back from the shop with some decent shots on it including one of my favourite shots of the sun setting at West Witterings beach. The photo came second in the 2007 Chichester Harbour photo competition, it was also chosen as the front cover for the Chichester Harbour News magazine.

I've now given in to the digital revolution and am currently using the Canon 5D Mark 2. Although nothing can replace the conveniance and imediacy of digital photography I still love the simplicity of film and the beautiful results from my Leica M3.

In my day job I'm a camerawoman for the BBC. I work on a variety of programmes including Eastenders, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Wimbledon and the 6 Nations rugby at Twickenham.
