This was a charity event in aid of Hope House at The Venue in Oswestry. Myself and a fellow member of the collective were invited there to take pictures by a member of the headline act, Monsta Ball. We were under instruction to act as press and paparazzi, as this was a celebrity fancy dress themed night. I was nervous and excited as it was my first time covering an event photographically for the collective. Our first job was to stand outside around the red carpet and catch the people as they came in. This was something completely different to what I have done before. At first I found it hard to get the images to be exposed correctly, but thanks to the help of some member of the Oswestry Photagraphic Society, I managed to work it out. One of the red carpet images is left of this text.
We then moved inside when the event got underway. A radio DJ from the local station, Signal 107, was presenting. There was a fashion show and a number of other great performances from gymnasts and a raffle.I really enjoyed this experience and it made me realise that I would like to cover more events from a photographic point of view. I know that I work well under pressure, so having a time limit by which to have the photographs edited made my work stronger. I got some fantastic feedback from the organisers and all involved. It was a brilliant night and my images have been used on the website of the band and the designers.
