I recently volunteered to photograph for Aireworth dogs in need after seeing an advertisement for a photographer. I have been in contact with a lady called Sharron Brigg who helps run the charity. I have been in touch with her over the last 2 years regarding my photography projects but nothing came of it. I have shown I am very keen to help out and this has finally paid off.
So far I have been in touch with Sharron and a fosterer. I managed to sort out a very confusing scenario with communication which I didn't feel was professional of the charity. They some how managed to get my mobile number and gave it out to a fosterer. After sorting out the communication between all of us I arranged to meet at Cliffe Castle - a local tourist attraction. It thought the land would make a beautiful background.
I have volunteered for animal charities before and never really kept in contact with them. I think this was because I didn't have much confidence in my photography. I think I am ready to show my work and to be happy with it. I have learnt a lot over the past year because of my availability to take photographs for people.
Although I will not be getting paid for my photography it is an opportunity to get my name seen. As well as working on my skills as a dog photographer.
