Finding Photography Work with a Photographers Assistant at Shoreham Airport as it goes into Administration
In a another strategy to find photographic work I visited Shoreham Airport and visited as many businesses as I could. I had Emanuelle with me, a photographer in the making, seeing what she can learn as an assistant.
Last week I made a lot of phone calls to potential clients. Cold calling is a difficult way to find work. And I maybe one of them may turn into work, I don’t know. People don’t appear t have money to spend!
So, today. Business cards, flyers (featured on previous blogs) and hope formed the basis of looking for work. The results: several potential clients…
- I’ll pass the flyers onto my father, he’s an engineer and may want his models photographing, as for this company, we use royalty free images… perhaps the company would like staff photographed…. they have an automated machine that knocks out images for staff passes…
- just had a load of photographs done!
- no thanks
- I’ll pass on your details to the Marketing person, she’s only in on…
- we just deal with IT problems, don’t need photographs but leave your card…
- no, sorry…
- contact this person who deals with…
…i’ll let you know if any contacts convert into paid work…
On passing though Shoreham Emmanuelle suggested visiting cafés/restaurants that might want photographs of their interiors… 3 out of 4 were positive…. will let you know what happens there…
Before we started looking for work, I took some photographs of helicopters courtesy of Fast Helicopters…
All planes were grounded at Shoreham Airport because the current owners had gone bust! ITV was there to report the misery. Not the best day to look for work at Shoreham Airport!
