Rebecca Cox Photography
"I am a wedding and portrait photographer, specialising in pet photography, although I won't say no to some commercial work.
My childhood years were split between Surrey and the Channel Islands. When I was quite young my father gave me a camera and a light meter and taught me how to use them. I instantly fell in love with photography, but I didn't think about it as a career because I wanted to travel so badly.
I joined the Airlines as a cabin attendent and had a wonderful 12 years living in the Middle East and flying all over the place. I met my husband when I upgraded him to first class. He was the first passenger I ever upgraded, and the last as we married 2 months and 10 days later. 2 children and a few countries later, we came to settle in the Forest of Dean and I turned my thoughts back to that love of photography.
Nearly 10 years ago, I set up Rebecca Cox Photography and now spend my days doing something I really love."
Likes: Dogs, I adore them! Movies, but not Hollywood blockbusters. Swimming. Sunshine. Art.
Dislikes: Pushy people. Litter. Rain.
Favourite food: Chocolate, need I say more?
Favourite book:To Kill a Mocking Bird, its brilliant!
What would be the first thing you would buy if you won the Euro-millions? A house with a big garden or wild land around it.
Idea of a perfect day at work: I really like working with dogs, so dog shows are high on my list of fun days and so are "Doggie Father Christmas" days. Having said that, I do enjoy weddings too.
Who do you admire most?
Nelson Mandella. He lead his people to freedom, and he doesn't seem in the least bit bitter about his years in prison, in fact he is always smiling!What super-hero power would you most like to have?
Sorry, I'm not really very up on super heros, I don't really fancy the gear (I like my underwear to be on the inside) - but I'd love to able to be invisible.
