So for my course, during my second year I'm expected to find and do some work experience. So, I decided to try and get some work experience over summer to have a bit of a better idea of what I'll be doing when my second year starts.
I have just started a work placement at Ph2o photography studio in Chelmsford - I'd emailed loads of photography places as well as fashion places, but it had been ages with no reply. Then I got a response from the managing director of Ph2o, agreeing to an interview. It's a pretty small place, but it doesn't really need loads of people to keep it running, and it also means I get to see all sides to the business, since it's pretty much one guy that does almost everything (at the Chelmsford one, anyway). I've only just had my first day, so most of it was just watching and learning, but I've been told that soon I'll be editing the photos to present to clients and I'll be allowed to just play about in the studio experimenting when there's nothing else I have to be doing, so I'm pretty excited, especially about editing work for real paying clients!
It's a really small place so I don't expect to get offered a job with them later on, but there's always a chance I guess - and the managing director said that he shouldn't really be editing the photos himself anymore, he should be training someone up to do them for him.. so I'm hoping there could be a slight chance there??
Anyway, I have waffled a lot, and I don't have an image to go with the post, so this probably looks like a boring wall of text... sorry! :)
