8. Anita Corbin
She owns a company with her husband called Corbin O’Grady
photography. Her story is about how she originally became a
photographer and her transition from the analogue to the digital
age now. E.g. from using traditional film cameras and developing
slides, to using digital cameras and computers to develop her
photo’s now. She also talks about her use of social media and how
she is collaborating with a young photographer to learn how to
use Instagram, Twitter, etc to showcase her skills. She has also
started a campaign called First Women, which is a large portfolio
of portraits that she is creating of women that lead or excel in
their areas of expertise to encourage and inspire a new, younger
generation of women. This ties in nicely with what we will be
showcasing with these videos.
10. Claire Bragg
She owns a 500 acre chicken and potato farm with her husband in
South Petherton. A lot of people aren’t aware of the amount of
technology that is actually used on a farm, so her case study is
about the technology that is used, e.g. automated satellite
guidance systems for the tractors, automatic food, climate,
heating systems for the chicken houses, mobile/remote access to
the systems, etc. as well as discussing how they are inspiring and
what she loves about digital.
