Photograph Featured on The National Trust Website For Wembury

Continuing my volunteer work for the National Trust, one of my images that I've taken whilst at Wembury point has been featured on the main Tourist Information page along with other photographers that have photographed that area. I am very happy to receive this recognition as it will lead to further interest in my work and achieve a wider audience. The link to the website is below.

Becoming an official National Trust Volunteer

After the shoot of Wembury point I had to wait a while to see if I would be taken on as a volunteer. After waiting for the feedback I went to another interview to discuss the paperwork that I had to go through such as claiming back travel expenses and how to keep track of my hours that I have worked. The next assignment that I have been given which is to shoot Wembury woods and the walk that goes through it, experimenting with different viewpoints in the woods and silhouettes that can create interesting photographs.

I am looking forward to this assignment as I haven't been to Wembury woods before and will enjoy seeing a new place. I enjoy photographing nature and the land in a way that show how it is without mans intervention. The main interests I have for this assignment are using silhouettes of the trees to make interesting shapes, the way that the path flows through the woods and how the landscape looks without mans intervention.

Looking for volunteer work

After looking at what areas of photography I'd like to go into, to further my CV and to improve my skills I have decided to look into volunteer work with the National Trust and possibly Plymouth Museum and Art Gallery. Through working for these institutes I will be able to expand on my knowledge of the area whilst improving on my people skills. I will also be able to work on my networking skills so that I am able to get more work in the future.

My interests are landscape and the history of the land with historical landmarks that have affected the landscape. Through documenting these places I will create bodies of work that can inform and educate people about the landscape that they live near and may be interested in. I also like to explore new areas as I am inspired by new areas that I haven't been to before.
