My new project : The Photography Parlour6

I’m very excited to share with you what I’ve been working very hard on for the last couple of months!

I’ve always thought there wasn’t that much community and support for fledgling professional photographers, and when you’re starting out it’s so important to get advice and connected. That’s why I started The Photography Parlour – a new blog aimed at aspiring pros!

It’s packed with interviews with professional photographers from all sectors – we’ve even got an amazing interview coming up with the legendary Gered Mankowitz who took probably the most iconic photograph ever of Jimi Hendrix and was the Rolling Stones official photographer!

On the site we’ll be regularly featuring work from up and coming photographers who have just shot their first paid assignment and they’ll share the experience and the highs (and lows!) with us. We also have our “Industry Insider” posts from VIPs in the photographic community like Terry Hope, the Editor of Photo Pro Magazine and Owen Beiny who runs controversial paparazzi photo agency World Entertainment News Network.

Finally, we will also have weekly Marketing Monday posts which will give us all an insight into the different ways we can promote our businesses! Already on the site we have Kat from Rock n Roll Bride who talks about getting work featured on blogs, and coming up there will be posts on optimising your website for search engines and an amazing branding two parter from American wedding photographer Ken Luallen!

I really hope this will develop into the hub for the up and coming photographic community – so come and make yourself at home, and don’t forget to leave a comment or two!
