Eleanor, 6 months, looks serene in her underwater photo by Strafish Underwater Photography

She just decided to take the plunge and see what happens if she devotes all her efforts to a business
'Also, a lot of the time in news photography, you have to photograph people who don't want their picture taking, like people leaving court, but the babies don't complain, mostly.
'I will certainly miss the adrenaline rush of news photography: getting a call telling you to catch the next flight to Budapest, or get to the hospital, The Dutchess of Cambridge is in labour!
'But I love the creativity of underwater photography and the unusual images you can capture.'
'I've always had an entrepreneurial streak but having worked full time for newspapers my entire working life I haven't had the time to pursue any of my ideas fully.
'I've had a few failed businesses that I ran on the side such as strawberry wine, painted glass and ceramic gargoyles. The underwater photography seems quite sensible in comparison. I just decided to take the plunge and see what happens if I devote all my efforts to a business.
'It feels like every picture you can conceive on land has already been taken, because photography is so popular now, but with underwater, it's a whole new angle.
'I trained to be a baby and pre-school swimming teacher too so I can teach the babies to swim myself as safety is very important. So this really is quite a career change.
'I'm not a mum yet myself but if I have one, it's sure to be the most photographed swimming baby around.'
