Film making experiments. 
I'm keen to look at how lockdown and the worldwide covid pandemic has affected the creative industry. I'm interested in things not just financial, but also emotionally, mental health balance, work arounds and ways you have adjusted your work flow, life and methods in order to keep going. I'm interested in how innovations have helped you, things like self generated content and remore shooting, gift vouchers for later date sessions and more. What ever has worked and what hasn't. 

I'm hoping to have a conversation with various people and maybe look at creating some kind of short, lo-fi web shorts/mini documentary films about it all.

I'd be interested in hearing from professional colleagues about how it has all affected them. Those in particular who earn money from what they do (full time pro-models, studio owners, photographers, etc...) I know others earn from this industry too, but I'm not looking to speak to semi pro, hobbyist or those who may have had additional income throughout the past year. I'm chasing down full timers.

I'm casting this for a model in the first instance as I'm hoping someone who is used to being in front of a camera might just make things a little easier to work with initially. Boosting my confidence and getting to grips with it all.  (And I'd rather not look like I don't know what I'm doing in front of industry photo peers by faffing about and talking to myself!!!!)
If you are not a model and reading this, feel free to reach out if you want to get involved. Maybe not directly casting for a photo buddy to be interviewed would go some where to boost confidence in getting this sorted. Even better, if you are a model AND a photographer who fits this bill then boom!!! Ideal situation.

Please note. This is a complete experiment and might just not work so not getting too invested in its success would be a good thing! :)
I'll be using a phone to record and all edits will be on a specific app.  This is in order to also see if there is room to incorporate into my day to day workflow. Happy to discuss everything from the outst.

I realise I'm not selling this well... soz! 

I'd need maybe an hour of your time at a suitable location. In or around Derby. Nottingham at a push if its morning. 

Please note. Visualise this as a filmed conversation. It really is that simple.

I'm happy to swap time for time with this as I know 'time is money'. Happy to shoot what you need in return. I understand things like this have to be worthwhile for all involved.


Anyway, get in touch, lets chat and see what emerges.

As always, the 'rarely replies' note applies to not responding to template expressions of interest, invitations to group shoots and those spamming me with their rates... Also, I'm grumpy.
