MAke>shift 2011

The MA Dance students held their performances on a Saturday and I was asked to photograph them. It was such a nice experience running around from a performance to the other and go home inbetween for a break and to edit the pictures. This project is one of my prides so far, as I edited and delivered the pictures to the 5 performers on the same day at their afterparty.

I believe that in this industry you need to be as fast and professional as possible, and to keep the 'client' if you wish, happy as in any other industries. With photography is just a bit harder now because anyone who has 500 pounds can get a DSLR and call themselves a photographer and ask for less pay. Of course experience is important but very often people will look at expenses instead of quality. This is why my technique in being successful is to get the pictures back within 24 hours.

But above all this, I loved the buzz of having to photograph five performances in one day, especially because they were all so different.
