Work Experience

My List is getting ever longer and any experience in any area is valuable. I took photos for Zone 3 triathlon suites and its amazing to see my work on their site



Not all of them are mine but I went back last week and re shot the new range so I'm looking forward to seeing them on the website.









Today I'm photographing some pieces for a knitwear student. I've done my own fashion work but not much for other people so it should be exciting. I'm intrigued by what pieces they'll have and I might borrow a macro lens. I was thinking of doing an intense close up and then a further out shot to show the detail and overall effect. I found something similar in a Sunday magazine article. You couldn't make out what the subject was until you zoomed out making you consider the viewpoint. But I'll see what ideas they have hopefully considered!

So how do i brand myself??!

I need to advertise my skills, to gain work to advertise myself and network. I therefore need to brand myself and have this consistant through my blog, website(which im building) and then business cards. Ive had cards before, my image on one side my details on another. I feel a range of images will be appropriate, depending on the client or the reason im giving them a card. I ask to see peoples cards to get inspiration and look at quality which is also important. You can get them free but you compromise on quality. Ive found a website that seems perfect,


photographic cards....great stuff!!

Lightroom Editing

I have been working through all the images that Ive taken at the matches. At each one im learning so much that I can't even believe how much i have improved! ALthough it is not just about the action shots they are important and I feel that my position on the pitch/court is also really important too. If i want to get there expression then I need to be in a position to get it. I have photographed the american football, swimming, netball, basketball and rugby. I have the Football next week and then Sportsvest. Furthermore I want to get some portraits of the key people that I have photographed or to go along to any other training sessions that I can go to. Hopefully then I can add the Audio, action and portraits all together to create something pretty impressive!

Plus I have some work experience planned, im taking photos for SCR Triathlon suites website tommorrow. Plus John from DE Photo emailed me back about working for them in the future which is fantastic! Its looking good!

Just a quick note, the BJP has re-released itself this month as a monthly publictation. It has most certainly improved its content and the quality of the actual magazine itself is impressive. I didn't get chance to read the weekly publication before the next one came through the door and now I have all month. I'm looking forward to the next one now.

I have also begun my search for jobs. The search is hard as although I feel I have so much to offer its knowing how to get there, I know where I want to end up. I want to work for a major picture agency but Reuters is probably my biggest aim. I just need to know how to get there.....
