For mine and J'nae's jewellery branding project, we wanted to hire a photographer in order to produce a look book and promotional products for the brand.
I contacted a few different photographers, so that we had plenty of options.
Victoria Cadisch

I lived with Victoria's sister last year, so spoke to her personally via Facebook to get a quote and see if she was available for the shoot as her work is absolutely incredible! Unfortunately, being professional and doing this for a living, Vic's quote was way out of our budget at £450, which was mates rates too! Usually she would charge about £1000 or so for fashion shoots, so she was offering us an amazing deal.
We spoke to Amber and Senior Management to see if there was any way in which we could fund this project, but unfortunately the uni didn't have a large enough budget for Graphic Design so we couldn't hire Vic.

I spoke to Joe via social media too, as he's a friend of a friend. He was really interested in doing the shoot for us, but we weren't entirely sure if we liked his style of photography, as it was quite high end and a bit too crisp and clean for our brand. However, we decided to keep him in the running until we decided otherwise, as his photography is really good.
Joseph Pickering
I contacted Joe to see if he could help us out and take our photos, as we really loved his style!
We were really excited that Joe was up for doing the shoot and working with us! I think that outsourcing our photographer will definitely help to make our brand stand out as the photography will be professional and I always think that amazing images help to make designs look great!
I'm really looking forward to the shoot as I've never worked on a fashion shoot before and am really intrigued to see how the day pans out and how the photographs look at the end of it all. It's been extremely difficult and tiring to organise, but I definitely think that it's going to be worth it and be a really good portfolio piece!
