Photographer Communication.

Oliva Whitbread-roberts Photography 

Having proposed to use Olivia Roberts and having been in contact with her from the beginning of my project as shown below, I have received new messages stating that she is unavailable for the initial date we had booked in and can now only do two weekends one at the end of February and one at the end of March. This was concerning as my production plan is already having to be re amended due to a slow start in the project, to amend this i have decided to do my test shoots with Dionne photographer below and if i stick to my intended production plan shoot with Olivia on provisional date booked end of March. Although this means i will be testing with an alternative photographer, Olivia is very experienced and I feel that she understands my concept as she has both a wedding photography and fine art background I feel very confidant that she will produced images that are coherent to both the test shoots and my envisaged outcome.

Dionne Lockyear Photography 

This is the communication so far with this photographer as we tested my child shoot option together I have been able to see how she works both on set and visually. Although she was very quite and a little shy we worked well as a team as i was able to take the role of director. Having said this in the child shoot this didn't work due to it being the wrong combination as she should have been making a relationship with the child model for her to respond in tern. Yet having decided not to use child models i feel that in my final shoots this will be a good collaboration.  As my final photographer lives in cornwall and test shoots are unavailable i have decided that i will test with Dionne and further book her as my backup photographer for all shoots this way she can gain imagery for her website
