"With Love Photography"

‘With Love’ Photography is a freelance fashion photography business found and owned by myself that works independently with clients/companies across the Midlands, providing the best service as possible. Situated in Birmingham, I will be hired by clients to take fashion shoots both on location and in a studio. We are a reliable and trustworthy business, offering services like no other photography company in the Midlands. What makes us unique is the fact that we offer discounts for order volume as well as number of shoots per year. My clients will be influencers on social media such as Instagramers who regularly upload images advertising clothing to their followers, as well as working closely with fashion and lifestyle magazines to create images for featured articles. I will arrange meetings with clients as necessary as possible to come to a conclusion with what the client wants out of this business.
I believe this idea will work because there is a significant amount of influencers on social media, such as YouTubers and ‘Instagirls’, collaborating with clothing companies to advertise their clothes on their social media pages. I believe there is a number of these individuals who are looking for their own professional photographer to take these images in order to present professional content to their audience throughout their online blogs and social media pages.
This idea came to me after seeing a number of comments on popular influencers social media’s asking for managers, photographers and event organisers to help them ‘aid’ their busy lifestyle.
With Love Photography will produce the best quality photos for our clients. We will offer packages that will work out cheaper for our clients in the long run as well as creating contracts with clients to be their personal photographer, guarantying myself work as well as promising my clients a reliable and passionate photographer.
Having strong interest and experience in photography, I have undertaken various photography modules throughout my degree, such as photography in practise and fashion photography, gaining a significant amount of transferable skills for this job sector. I have completed photoshoots both on location and within a photography studio, working closely with models. The images were edited using Photoshop and uploaded on my personal online website which I will present to my clients when choosing to work with ‘With Love’ Photography. With an inspiration to become a fashion photographer I see an opportunity to apply and develop my knowledge and skills in creating this business.
As for the marketing side of this business, I have relevant skills and experience in creating online websites as well as both print and online adverts, using InDesign and Wix.com. I will use these skills when creating my business cards and advertisements to increase my number of clients and sales.
As I am going freelance, the funding for ‘With Love’ Photography will come from my own earnings. Whilst start-up my business I will continue to work part time in retail to earn money on the side as well as taking out a loan/overdraft with my bank which I can arrange to be paid back once I have began earning as a freelancer. As an undergraduate, I have an arranged overdraft with no extra fees which will benefit me for an extra 3 years after I have graduated. This will pay for my camera equipment. I will crate a working office in my own apartment therefore I wont need any funding for office space/studio hire as of yet. If I need additional help with costs I will look into crowdfunding platforms such as KickStarter, the worlds largest funding platform for creative projects.
