Portfolio Surgery

Spending a very worthwhile half an hour with Andy Lodge. Speaking over my portfolio and work which he said was at a good stage, after spending most of last week rephotographing some old work to get it up to professional standard.

He gave me some great advice on how to approach some specific studios which I am interested in, thomas.matthews, thoughtful and Music. To take an approach which starts with asking them on a project which I have in common and using it as a source of flattery and an initial talking point. Another making a exposure campaign sending the studio a piece of something to keep every week or so, to eventually make something which works as a set and they can keep and is memorable. 


That I should also be networking with studios online, but John has already told me this but it is still something I want to continue doing. John and Andy cant both be wrong.

I asked Andy for his email address if I have any follow on questions and he gave he his card.
