A couple of weeks have passed since my last update on my progress and I have lapsed again from my intended weekly posts. I has for some reason been harder than expected to fit everything in, but I must make more effort to schedule time in.
I am a member of the Royal Photographic Society so have just received their most recent journal. I am starting to read through it and aim to post on any articles that interest me.
This week I have also been doing work experience with my employers PR department. I work in a veterinary referral centre but we are a charity that also works to find cures for diseases in animals. This means that we have our own dedicated PR and fund raising departments. As my employer is aware that I am in the process of working towards my degree they felt that they may be able to use my services and it could be beneficial for me to find out how the promotional side of things works. I found the whole experience invaluable, as I got to see another aspect of photography and how it can be used in different ways. I have further work experience lined up with PR next month which I am really looking forward to.
Back in December I became aware of Cambridge Style Week and heard that they were looking for photography interns. I registered my interest as well as sending some examples of my work to them. Having not heard anything back I accepted that I probably lacked experience in the area and that it was a very popular opportunity. I have since heard back from them and am now going along on the 22nd February to photograph at their Ethnic and Sustainable Fashion Show. I can't as this is one of the areas of photography I am really interested. Luckily all the photos I take can be used for my own portfolio so I shall be posting some on the blog as soon as possible after the event.
