New Client 24th September 2011.

All the models I have worked with in the past are people I know personally. I noticed via Facebook that one of them has her 18th birthday party coming up in November at Goals in Birmingham.

Knowing that this would be a big event in her life, and a good opportunity for me to gain more clients and experience, I contacted her asking if she had considered having any professional photos taken at the party. To this she replied saying that she would love to have this done and enquired about how much I would charge. Following this I now have a paid job lined up for the 4th November 2011.

I'm going to approach this by getting to the venue before anyone arrives to get some images of the room, picture of the birthday girl etc, then stand at the front door to get some images of people arriving. I will then walk around and try to take photos of the party and the vibe and make sure I get the balance of images of the birthday girl and her friends and family.

There will be lack of light in the venue, I will need to make sure I choose a high ISO so I can shoot with a faster shutter speed and still expose the shot well. I am also going to take a flash gun with me.

I am going to take business cards and hand them out and leave them on tabels at the party so if people from the party see my images and like them I might gain more clients via this.
