Work Experience - Strikeback Concert

 

Strikeback Concert.

Location: Boxpark, Croydon

Date: 22nd March 2017

As part of my work experience as a photographer I had a previous opportunity on the 22nd of March 2017 working at a concert at Boxpark in Croydon. For this work experience I was situated in the role of photographer and music video assistant throughout the night that I was working for the musicians and bands.


As a photographer, I was required to work closely with the solo musicians and bands who were
performing and their management and PR both before and after the concert, taking backstage and performance photographs that would be used for advertisement and publicity on their websites and social medias as well as for the portfolios of the solo musicians and bands. I was also required to help with setting up the photographic and camera equipment such as tripods, lenses, lighting, and backdrops whilst being able to give input and information to the management crew and the lighting teams at the concert venue so that they could be edited or changed if need be for the performances.


Through this work experience I built up a lot of confidence in terms of working with clients and their management as well as lighting teams in order to be able to set up the stage and communicate with them how the photographic prints had come out after the night of shooting. I was also able to learn a lot in regard to the performers and become close friends with some of them who were comfortable enough to reach out to me at later dates for photographs for their music performance portfolios and advertisement for their albums or later concerts such as Kadian Foster, Lawrence Jellow, Josh Tenor, Georgia Grinham and Ash Gardener.
