I've been pushing my automotive photography in my spare time and have undertaken several shoots for personal pleasure. I like to experiment with new techniques and different cars purely as a hobby, it's not something I'm looking to move into as a speciality however I really enjoy doing it and it helps keep photography interesting for me.
I have also been working commercially alongside university for a few clients. I have been photographing premier league football for sport five, an advertising agency based in wilmslow. This has been a great experience and I have now built up a great relationship with the commercial director and frequently recieve calls to undertake work.
In the past 12 months I've been building a relationship with another photographer and together we have built quite a successful wedding photography portfolio. We have undertaken 6 wedding this year and have several more booked. We have been doing both photography and videography which has been a good experience for me, I think videography is a valuable skill to have especially in todays market where clients sometimes want both stills and video.
Wedding photography has always been an area I was keen to avoid but it can be a very lucrative part of the photography market and so I decided to give it a chance. I am glad that I am now involved with it as it's not exactly what I expected. I was always worried that the pressure of having to capture the day would be too much especially if I was the main shooter but after doing a few my confidence has grown greatly and I now know I'm more than capable of it.
