Since my last post I've had a development on the business side of my photography: I mentioned previously that I had received my first paid gig as a photographer for the launch of Jukebox Club in Leicester's City Centre, and I have now made a deal with Niche Magazine (who often use student photographers as a way to gain them experience) for even more paid work! Niche do articles covering and supporting local businesses in the Leicestershire area: So any time a business needs photos for the latest issue I'll be sent out to get shots of their unique tone, shop, and staff. I did this once for Niche in May, unpaid, for a business in Stoneygate called Beau Aesthetica.

(You can see my photos from the Beau Aesthetica shoot here.)

Following the paid shoot I did of Jukebox Club however, I talked with Niche about the possibility of being paid for future shoots: They made an offer that I was happy with and I accepted, meaning that I am now secured with paid photography work! The first piece of which was two Tuesdays ago on the 4th of August, for a business in the Clarendon Park area named Divine Serenity Retreat, which I believe will be featured in a new issue of Niche Magazine in September!
