Paying Gig

[Britman]

Got my first paying gig this weekend. It's the Laffik Show, a local equestrian event. The event photographer has been so kind as to allow me to join him, he's been looking for togs for a while and has only just started out on his own. Although it's a trial basis any shots I take and that sell, I'll get commission on. I'm not expecting to earn much at all, I'm mainly there to learn the ropes.

Nice one.

Brilliant stuff mate! I wouldn't worry about the amount of money, it's more about the portfolio - make sure that he gives you usage rights for your shots.

I was sailing with my eldest last week in Bassentwaite and this lot were there http://www.dephoto.co.uk/

Got some good pictures of me and Jr in the boat

2116-ca ref number

Pretty good and a fairly good price too I would imagine plenty of gross profit

Well today's event has been cancelled because of bad weather. I'm disappointed but I'm pencilled in for September.

Right I'm booked in for an event at Scarisbrick this weekend and another event the following weekend.

Weather is meant to be much improved this time around so good luck with it

Well my first paying gig went really well. Taking pictures of Trixy riding a pony is easy so long as you get the horses legs in the right position and any horse portraits have to horses ears up and pointing forward. Now the event I was at wasn't very big at all but i still earned £50.

I'm working next weekend too.
