At 3:40pm on May 8, 2010, Ruth Ellen BA (hons), MA. said…: Hi Carol - I just got a mail about your message. I have also been having similar problems. I have done some fashion photography before and was thinking about setting up my own photography studio and inviting students to come along and have their picture taken. It would be cool if we collaborate / share ideas on this. What do you think? :)

At 2:55pm on May 8, 2010, Jan Howarth said…: Hi Carol, I am a jewellery designer based in Wigan, seliing on MISI and through my own site www.misty-rose.co.uk. I would be willing to supply/loan my own jewellery for use and after a photo shoot with golley slater feel comfortable with being photod/illustrated with the jewellery.

Had a look at your portfolio too and love your work. Jan

They can also add you to their list of training and professional development workshops.

Also see if your local authority has a creative industries officer or network that you could talk to / join.
Lots of luck! Sally

A friend and colleague of mine does some work for... http://www.redhouseoriginals.com/

There's currently an exhibition running at 3345 in Liverpool, a venue that I'm also involved with from a music promotion point of view.

It might be worth contacting someone at Red House? Or I could pass your details on to them,

cheers,
Tom

At 5:47pm on October 2, 2009, Mark Chapman said…: Hi Carol,

Thanks for contacting me. I am currently working on a few websites for various businesses. As well as my own website (www.radarcommunication.com), I have designed a website for a Brazilian Samba School (www.viva-brasil.co.uk).

Obviously, the best place to start would be to arrange a meeting and discuss your requirements. I can offer creative services such as design for print - logos, flyers, etc, and I can also arrange for an effective website using SEO, updateable, etc.

Regards,

Mark
