5OUP & BEHANCE:
I created myself a 5oup profile today, a artist networking site that's very new. Similar to behance (which I already have an account with). It seems like a small but diverse community with some really talented people. I hope to use it to speak to other photographers and see what information I can get on working freelance. Lets get networking.
PHOTOGRAPHY PODCASTS:
Yesterday I downloaded two phototgraphy podcasts to see what I could learn from them. Lets see how I get on.
"Photographer Tyler Stalman shares tips, tricks, and advice on digital photography, stock photography, cameras, lenses, studio lighting, and all other photo topics."
"The Art of Photography is a video podcast dedicated to discussing all things photography related. Published weekly, we cover equipment, technique, alternate process, shooting, composition and a plethora of other topics."

MADDY CARTY: MEETING:
This initial meeting went well, I was able to get a sense of the music and what she wants.
Music: Ska/Reggae/Pop
www.myspace.com/maddycartymusic.com
I discovered that she didn't just want promotional photos but a a cover for a single that will be being sold at her gigs. With this information I would like to make a cover for a vinnyl which can be shrunk and used with a cd too.
I am able to have a strong hold on the creative direction on this project

WORKING WITH MUSICIANS:
AMI BARWELL:
I enjoy the use of props in his work and how they make his images stand out.
GRAHAM SMITH:
I like the documentary feel of his photographs, that many are not posed, I fell this makes them seem quite raw.
PEROU:
I love his use of lighting, the way his subjects look almost beyond 3D. However I notice that many of his images are heavily photoshopped which is maybe something I'd like to move away from.
BARRY FEINSTEIN:
I like these images as they are film opposed to digital, which give such a different feel.

RATIONALE:
So gathering words from my last few posts and having had a think this is a rationale:
This project will provide me with the skills to work as a freelance photographer. I plan to aquire more camera skills through research and gain a more advanced knowledge of a DSLR. I also plan to allow myself to be submersed in working with clients, to give up individual art direction and allow my client to have a strong input in the photography. I will gain skills in working with people and a knowledge of the industry in which I may go into after my degree.
