What is your plan once you finish your BA?
My main goal is to be able to work as a freelance portrait and fashion photographer and videographer. Although I do also have an interest for casting which is something I believe I could tie in into my freelance work. Some of the companies which I would like to be able to produce work for include I-D magazine, Dazed and 10 Magazine as I believe that these have a similar style of photography to mine. As a freelance photographer, I could also work for various other areas in the industry, such as producing work for modeling/ casting agencies and brands.
I do believe I have quite a mixture of styles in regard to my work, as not only do I look at a sort of ‘documentary’ style approach, but I have recently developed more of a fashion side to my work in regards to posing/studio work. Due to the running themes within my work, such as ‘youth culture,’ I believe my target audience would most likely be of a younger age but also ranging to an older audience too if they are interested in the youth of today and the impact they have on the planet. At the stage I am now, I have had a few offers to work freelance.
I do still feel like I really need to build more connections, in order to get myself fully out there as a freelancer, which I know will take time. Therefore in the meantime, after I graduate, my intentions are to be able to get as much experience and knowledge in other fields of the fashion industry to really be able to comprehend every aspect of it which I believe will then reflect within my work. Things such as internships, retail work, assisting work, etc.
