Bright Wight Images - Update

Hello guys!

Seems like ages since I last spoke to you about Bright Wight Images - so much has been going on, and I thought I would update you, here at HabboxForum. Last time we spoke, I was preparing for my first client, Sandown Carnival. Both events went smoothly, and I have been invited back in November for a Latern Parade. I managed to get a wooping 2000 images, and following the ratio of 20:100, I managed to send off 200 images to them. This is what they had to say;

Just to say a big Thank you for all your hard work over the past two days, if your photo’s are as good as your attitude then they should be Great! It was a pleasure working with you!

My next event is Skandia Cowes Week - the world's largest sailing regatta. I am today meeting with the official photographers, to discuss going out on a boat for the remaining 3 days of Cowes Week. Linked in with this, I have been asked to do some private work, for a client called 'TrueStone'. They wish for me to do some shots of their boat, from on and off shore. I am yet to confirm this with them, as I need to arrange some times within Cowes Week. All looking good for the remainder of this week!

I have also confirmed today that the Garlic Festival client is 100% happy, and I will recieve my tickets to the show within the next couple of days. I also confirmed yesterday, the position of Official Photographer for a local Steam Show. Working for them, over 4 days, catching the events of the show. This is another great event to add to my local portfolio.

My portfolio is ever growing, and I look to update the website with a few more images within the next couple of days. If you have any questions regarding my photography, BrightWightImages or any of my clients, please do ask.

Good going, now if you do a good job, they will hopefully recommend you to other events = More popularity / well known?

Indeed.

Working with onEdition will be a real plus, as they do work with people such as David Beckham. I will let you all know how the meeting goes today - but first I have to find the Press Office!

Wow, You might get to meet some big names if they like you.
Remember, they have to like the person and the images if you want them to come back to you for another event.

I don't see that a new thread was necessary.

Have you made any money yet?

No.

I am purely building up experience, in order for me to then seek paid positions. As the TrueStone company have some to me, I could charge them, however I will not be able to know what I am doing on the water until that point.

That's not half a good idea Darren, I admire your pursuits in becoming a professional photographer. Obviously you're pretty good otherwise companies will not refer you to other companies, so it won't be long till you get into the right circles. ;)

Thanks for your support.

I am also in talks with a local photographer, to work with him as a 'work experience' student, outside of school, if he gets a client come in (waiting to hear back).

are you limited to the isle of wight?
