Harriet

Harriet a picture editor came to talk to the group today and also to give us another assignment. I found what she had to say was really interesting and it’s good to hear from an insider who does it for a living. Even though she’s not a photographer she has a lot of ideas of how the images are going to look, this is a different approach into going in to the business of photography and being in the background of everything.
I’d like to work with portraits with the assignment she’s set because it’s something I haven’t properly worked with yet, and I’d also like the work for my portfolio, so there’s two reasons why I’d like to do portraits, the only problem is thinking how to work with it, whether to do beauty or fashion and how to go about it. I’d also have to consider who to ask to model and whether I’d need to approach a model agency and try and get them for free, as I’ve heard other people in the class have managed to do.
I need to decide on what I want to do because we need to write a proposal to submit to her for the 25th February.
