About a week ago I walked passed a photography shop not far from my house. It was quite late at night, but because I had been hunting for a job earlier that day I had a couple CVs left on me and I posted one through the shop’s letter box, not expecting to hear anything back. To my surprise I received a text a few days later. I gave Victor the photographer a call, he informed me that he doesn’t actually need anyone however was after a favour and asked me if I’d be able to help him out with a shoot the following evening at some event near Chorley – Exciting news. Obviously I agreed and Victor told me he would pay me £50 to work from 7pm till 10pm and that I would also receive £1 commission off each photograph I managed to sell. Thrilling news, particularly when one considers my current financial situation. Much to my dismay however he later informed me that the event organisers sent some other photographers so I wouldn’t be needed, however he still wanted to meet me. I later met Victor in his little shop, not far from my house and I told him about how I’m a University student and this would be fantastic for me, I expressed my excitement by also informing him I would also love to shadow him and even do some voluntary work if ever some may be needed. He said he’d keep me in mind for any other favours he may need and didn’t exactly object to me shadowing him – so, it’s a start. I may re-contact him if I don’t hear from him in a while or perhaps slip some studio photographs I take over the next couple months through his letter box, in hope of enticing him to give me a call.
Below I have left the link to his website:
