Show me the money.......

Havent visited in a while and offered my advise, or rather little bits of info that i pick up along my bumpy journey....anywho....here is a little something for you.....

Pricing is always a difficult thing when it comes to Photography and it seems like you may never get it right, or is that just me?!  Anyway, it is hard and having reviewed and reviewed my prices it is time i make a proper plan....something I should have done a while ago!  

Anyway for any of you out there looking for some pricing advise, please see below some of the websites I used and tips I found useful - good luck!

£ - Look at your competition.  Not just within your 'dedicated' skill set or specific photography type but also locally what people are charging and to whom.

£ - Be confident in your pricing.  Start low when less experienced and then you can increase your rates in the future, getting the work and word of mouth marketing is always better.  I have done a fair bit of free or low priced work and from what I have heard, as have other photographers.

So with more networking advice, life advice, tales of the London Lights and the fact we are now even offering advertising and positivly encouraging YOU to be exposed on our blog with our Fat Chats......there is even more reason to stick around!!

hand picked finery........

There is not much to say apart from 'Dear Lordy Lord that was awesome!'

Fat Talent Live truly lived up to its name Sunday night, offering a hand picked selection of the finest emerging talent in music and fashion,; there is no doubt that 2009 was welcomed with a bang.

Talking as part of the crew I am unable to write as a guest or offer you an actual experience, however what I can offer you is a bleeding good guess and even more importantly the knowledge of being there as part of the family.  If you have not already been to this event it really does showcase the talents of all of those involved, the night saw amazing performances from Chocolate Blonde, (now she is a lady that can move her booty!) Mr Unique, Sykes all the way from Birmingham, Soul Kid, Byron Gold, Katalyst, and Rodrigo Braga just to name a few.  

Video and pictures.....coming soon!!!  

White stuff......

  

  

No, I am not talking about milk or even cocaine...I am talking snow!  Well it wouldn't be right if somebody didn't write something about it following today's antics (NO buses in London, please what are people made of these days?!)  so here I am being predictable! Anyway, thought I would cheer things up a little and find some beauty in between the hot cocoa, frost bitten toes & regret that you avoided that extra layer cos it made you look bulky. Google snow pictures and you get the following....i like.......

  

    

  

Skinny Dipping.....
