Sector Experience
I have had experience working in a studio setting (using Elinchrom and Bowens lighting and working with Apple Mac computers) for the last 3 years as part of my time at University. The majority of this work was with models, so I have a good understanding of how to work with people being photographed and how to ensure I get te best image possible., I volunteered as a Lifestyle Editor while at University; this gave me experience of working to strict deadlines. I specialised in Fashion and Food at Flex Newspaper, and I often wrote my own articles on these subjects that were printed within the section. , Assisting and organising a photoshoot from Frank Herholdt in April/May 2011 gave me a great deal of experience in setting up shoots. My role in the lead up to the shoot was to organise the 30+ models we used, from arranging castings to sorting the appropriate paperwork and generally being someone the models could approach with questions and problems.
