The process to start up my professional website was interesting to say the least. I research a lot of photography pages and a lot of them spoke about themselves in third person, which meant to me that the artists page was more of a archive and saw the artist as someone who was seen as a subject themselves. However, I've always imagined my work to be personable and I want to be able to articulate my images with my own words as if I were doing an interview to make sure the reader understood how I felt during the shoot and what its purpose was. So this meant that I introduced myself as if I was having a conversation with someone. This may be too direct, but I wasn't prepared to create a page that wasn't allowing me to connect to my audience on a personal level.
The pages below are the pages that I have included on my webpage, and I am looking forward to adapting this further as my photography continues after I graduate. This page as it stands is a starting point, a stage from which I can progress from and learn to adapt once I have additional content that I'm working on in the future.
This webpage is another medium which my followers can access my work and even purchase my published books. I have created a link on the pages where it opens onto the page within blurb where they can purchase their desired book and I am looking forward to making more in the future and expand my content. I thought that I would include the process of how I structured my website within my professional practice blog as I felt it would be interesting to look back on in the future when I have more experience with the professional world of photography and I can continue this blog with regular, necessary updates of events or commissions that I have managed to achieve as I already have a few lined up for next year, such as my first paid wedding, shadowing a local photographer.
