I recently had my image of the Red Shoes in an exhibition at the Viewfinder Gallery in Greenwich. It is the first time I have exhibited outside of the university organizing an exhibit. The image was popular and got a good reception which gave my confidence in my photography a really big boost.

I also got the images from the Hawes and Curtis advertising shoot I assisted on and the images look really good. I think background that Lucy and Chirag built the night before worked really well. They make a really good team and are always fun to work for.

In my own photography I have been looking at printing on glass and mirrors for one project and starting my final project. I have done one shoot for the final project but it is not quite what I am looking for and have two more shoots in mind to do next week. I just need the time first! Things have been crazy with waitressing work and trying to fit uni work in too and doing an internship with Louise at the Viewfinder Gallery. Thankfully Louise has said that I can cut back my time at the gallery until things at uni have calmed down a bit. I feel it’s a shame I have to do that because I really enjoy working there but honestly, university is so important and there isn’t too long left there.

Anyways, I am off to do a shift now.

The last semester

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I have started my last semester of university. I only have 3 hours of classes a week so I am trying to keep myself busy with working my paid job and also interning at the Viewfinder Gallery in Greenwich. I am there two days week learning every I can from Louise the curator there. I’m really excited about it and my first day is tomorrow! I am also hoping to enter something into the Open Salon exhibition this week.

I have also been doing some freelance work here and there and last week I got to assist on another Hawes & Curtis campaign. I will put some images up when I am able to but it is very exciting! I am also still working with Zoe when she needs an assistant. Also my friend Lucy Brown said she may need my help on some upcoming fashion shoots she has soon.

All this makes it sound like I am not doing any of my own work! Alas, I still am trying to take photos every day and posting them to my Flickr account while also doing a rather ambitious university project! Oh and helping organise the end of year show and fundraiser!

All this means the next three months will be very interesting for me!
