On Saturday I met with Carina to capture some updated personal branding images for her successful LinkedIn page. 📸
Carina was one of my very first paying clients around 4 years ago, whilst I was still studying at Staffordshire University. During the time I was still learning my way around a camera/lighting and figuring out what kind of photographer I wanted to be. After all this time, I’m really grateful that we still stay in contact and that she still comes to me for images, as her trust and support all them years ago has encouraged me to carry on with what I do now! 😊📸
We were discussing how much creative talent is ‘hidden’ in smaller cities like Stoke-On-Trent and how great it is to support smaller businesses that’s right on your doorstep.
As a born and bred Stokie I appreciate the city so much! For example, hearing lots of stories of my nana ‘back in the day’ working at Spode and guilding the plates using her creative skill to create the famous pottery. As well as growing up around family/friends hearing all the great things that Stoke has/had to offer that’s not in these big cities like London.
Stoke has a lot of history in the creative industry and I’m grateful that I’m doing my part by keeping it alive with my lens, my love for oatcakes, pottery and Stokie charm! 🦆😆
