Work experience student has a cracking time!

This is what she had to say...

In August 2010, I was given the opportunity to join the 'High Profile' team for a week of work experience.

I found the experience extremely enjoyable and beneficial. I am currently a Fine Art student, specialising in Photography. From this experience, I hoped to gain a greater insight of how the industry works; in preparation for when I leave university and have to decide which career path I wish to follow.

Throughout the week, I explored a variety of different projects. I began by photographing and editing pairs of spectacles, for use in a brochure. I then created and published a personal website using iweb: You can visit my site at: www.alexboreham.co.uk

I helped to arrange pages for a school news article and learnt key techniques such as 'clipping'. I also experimented with important programs like Photoshop, Illustrator and QuarkXPress.

On my final day, I was set the challenge of photographing an egg in the lighting studio; trying to make it look as good as it possibly could.

Overall, I had a fantastic week and would certainly recommend the experience to anyone interested in this type of field.


Kind regards,
Alex
