I received this email from Open Source Arts venue after doing some voluntary photography for them. Although the opportunity became unavailable, it made me seek some advice about how much I can expect to charge for a shoot of this nature. “We have an aerial trapeze artist who is on the search for a photographer…… Continue reading Working out what I should charge.

Asking for credit.
As part of this module I am learning to explicitly ask for credit every time I share photos. I’m not sure if this is an accepted demand for paid work, but it is absolutely crucial that any photos I share for free are credited with my name and point of contact, as networking is a…… Continue reading Asking for credit.
Sound Blending in Premiere Pro
One of the issues with my film documenting the Thrive exhibition was sound blending. The audio levels were inconsistent and there was a noticeable ‘audio pop’ with each cut in the audio. Here I’ve watched some tutorials to see try to create smoother transitions in the audio sequence. I have attempted using Premiere Pro audio…… Continue reading Sound Blending in Premiere Pro
How can I improve my event documentation films? | Analysing previous outcomes…
Before starting the edit for the Summat 2019 documentary/promo style film, I thought it would be a good idea to revisit my recent films documenting events. They can both inspire the structure for the upcoming edit, but also remind me of areas that require improvement, to make a higher quality outcome this time round. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pyItEOgNQ0…… Continue reading How can I improve my event documentation films? | Analysing previous outcomes…
Practicing Outdoor Portrait Photography
Eyes in Focus When selecting which images to pass on to the client, it was essential that the eyes were sharply in focus. I think with portraits this is key, as the eyes are the most detailed part of the face and often convey the most expression. The bottom two images in the series of…… Continue reading Practicing Outdoor Portrait Photography

The team today was a network of fellow lens-based practitioners, some who I had met through Salseros Unite contacts, and some who I had reached out to on the year below in VisCom.…… Continue reading Salsa Flash Mob Videography | Reflecting on collaborative experience

Demonstrate experience working in a food-focused environment. Show highlights of recent moving image and photography workEdit a sequence that is under 1minute, as they may receive many…… Continue reading Making a showreel for Bar Biccari.
Reflecting on Formative Feedback
It’s encouraging to have received such a positive response to my work so far. However, I can also see where I have sacrificed development in some areas to give time to others. For example – I have been very pro-active with networking in the local environmental/social sector – doing lots of voluntary work to gain…… Continue reading Reflecting on Formative Feedback
Reviewing Green Action Designs
I used Adobe Illustrator to make these designs – a programme I am still looking to develop my confidence in. The initial layout ideas were well received by the client – Green Action Society. However, although they required some decisions about type and were some good practice for poster design, they did not require much…… Continue reading Reviewing Green Action Designs
Reviewing & reflecting on current projects
Today’s group critique was a useful opportunity to review what I have done so far for this module and work out exactly what I want/need to do next. It is clear from the projects I am currently working on that I am still a multi-disciplinary designer, and I still very much enjoy working in a…… Continue reading Reviewing & reflecting on current projects
