Exhausting news from Patrick!

Hi Andrew

Hope you and Gill are well...

Still covering lots of business and social events with The Latest Magazine and getting lots of referral work from it. Got involved in Latest TV and have had stills put in to video as cutaways. The Latest have also asked me to cover some Business Articles, writing up the editorial and pictures.

PGA Golf Event photography has been mainly successful with great assistance from Adrian Carey.

I was contacted via The Journalistic Directory about a team of runners who are running in the Great North Run on 19 Sept 2010.

Taking on aboard your tuition from your course, I looked carefully at an angle on the story and have approached a large number of relevant magazines and national press editors and I got a good response. In the meantime I contacted the Charity, The Vegan Society, which has put the team in and they  agreed to take my photos and paid me. Have gone international...well Jersey ! Had a picture published in the Jersey Evening Post (attached) from this and further pics to be published by the Vegan Society in the quarterly magazine.

Private work has included working for J Wray & Son Ltd. a drinks supplier covering their Licor 43 Competition, Black Bottle, Powerade/Coca Cola, PGA, Chocolate Festival, and various other work such as VIP visits to companies and businesses from PR Agencies and other charities including Rockinghorse.

Have had a number of private commissions-portraits mainly - on location and studio work.

All in all not a bad start-just got to keep at it-Have repeat bookings for next year already including The Brighton Marathon and a number of PGA events.

Lots of pics on my website and have had some 266,000 views on it this year - www.bespokephotography.net



Andrew replies.....Phew, I don't know where to start, Patrick. I'm knackered just reading that. Well done! I would say "keep it up" but I know there's no point....you'll be doing that anyway.
