As I haven't blogged in a while I thought it was the perfect opportunity to tell you what is upcoming in my photography calendar and what I have lined up for the next few months.
So my most exciting project or event I have coming up during the end of this month is a Hair Show. Being asked to be photographer for an event like this was a privilege, as during my first year at University, our group worked a lot with MUA and their work on hair collections. Events such as catwalks and hair shows have always been something I am very interested in, which I guess relates to fashion and the world of fashion/editorial photography, which is my main ambition. I contacted a local salon during the summer, who kindly took a look at my work and took me on board. A lot of prep work is going into this hair show, with models, very well known makeup artists and hair stylists showcasing their work to family, friends and other businesses. I will be working with the salons regular photographer, which will enable me to build my portfolio, gain important skills, add to my experience and to show that I am versatile in different types of photography. I am very excited for this event, although I am nervous I cant wait to get there and start shooting a night as it happens. I hope to get some great results and I cant wait to share the images.
Another exciting event coming up is after Christmas, but again, I am also working with the salon to help them shoot a Portfolio for a hair stylist, in which the images will go towards the 'British Hairdressing Awards'. These awards are huge and the images need to look the part. Again, not much has been organised do to with this as the hair show is the main priority, but I am very excited for this event. I enjoy shooting in a studio environment, capturing beautiful portraits of hair which I have had a little bit of experience with. I will be using my portable studio which is very handy and very easy to set up. Again, these images will be a great group of images to add to my ever growing portfolio, which can showcase my photography for future clients or future job opportunities. Getting paid is always a bonus!!
Lastly, I may also be doing Music Photography, more specifically, shooting a portfolio of images for a band. For a local pop punk/ punk rock band I know who want to get their name and music out their. After recently completing their first EP, they want some images for their website/Facebook and Twitter pages. Again, the band and I are in the process of this shoot and I will hopefully be shooting with them in the upcoming months. This is something new and definitely a genre of photography that I am looking forward to trying out.
Until next time :)
