Two time UK Photographer of the Year John Watts-Robertson has been an editorial photographer since the age of 17 and worked his way up from weekly and regional newspapers to freelancing for national and international newspapers and magazines.

He also blogs about his personal and professional life over at Monkey's Revenge but be prepared, this bloke has a sense of humor. For example, did you know that John Watts-Robertson conducts photography portfolio reviews?

"For only $100 ‘JR’ will carry out a 20 minute assessment of your portfolio.

"Learn your strengths and weaknesses. Gain confidence to face the world’s picture buyers. Invest in your future. Every photographer whose work is evaluated will get a free Magnum ice cream of their choice, (may take up to 21 days to arrive)."

"John Watts-Robertson, ‘JR’, is an ageing photographer who has worked for many of Northamptonshire’s leading publications. He is mentioned in Debrett’s ‘Who's Nobody’ and is a former ‘David Bailey Bollocks Award’ Photographer Of The Year recipient. As picture editor of The Rothwell Parish Magazine he is very much in the know when it comes to choosing the right daguerreotype for the job."

What will you learn about photography over at Monkey's Revenge? Well JR isn't a "gear head", but you'll realize that just as important as photography equipment, this business is also about mirth and fun.

Now go outside, stand by your mailbox, and wait for your free Magnum ice cream to arrive!
