    Manchester, United KingdomFull Time
    I completed freelance work consisting of weddings, christening’s and organised events including birthday parties to formal events including a regimental dinner for officers and civilian’s staff of the Royal Air Force. Photographing the whole event with managers and guests for multiple purposes. I organised and edited the images to high standards to ensure payment and future bookings. Using my skills in colour and black and white printing to develop and print the images. Finishing the work by providing images or prints to desire, including different formats online or multiple sized prints; also creating a book or magazine. I easily and quickly built up contacts and lasting relationships from happy clients for word of mouth recommendations and future bookings. Also successfully using social media activity to increase awareness around my services provided.

    I was responsible for the whole photography process within the business. I had creative freedom and enjoyed using my innovation to style and photograph the garments to give the website a fresh and unique look. My new Ecommerce photography style attracted blogger ‘Nina Rose’ to write about the budding company, praising its style and providing us with possible new customers by extra online coverage. I photographed the products on mannequins and live models, styling each garment to insure high quality results and increase on sales. I edited the photographs to ensure imagery was of the highest standard and fits neatly on display page and within emails. My attention to detail was vital as my finished images are the only window between this new brand and the consumer; impeccable photography and presentation is the key to ensuring the sale of an item. I organised, styled, photographed and edited a sequence of lifestyle images to make a ‘look book’ for the latest clothing line. This was helpful for marketing as it was easily printed and handed out to the public gaining more traffic for the website therefore more overall customers. I helped with creative content writing, describing the products to promote their best features. I was the main person handling the garments so I knew their key selling points and could easily highlight these features with my photography and clever product description.
