STUDENT TAKEOVER DAY SIX/SEVEN .by.bel - Yesterday I went to Porthcawl to work on my Final Major Project (photo one).

My project focuses on the British seaside in the “off season” and how people still feel the desire to flock to the coast even when it’s not all that warm.

The rest of the photos are some of my favourites from the project so far.

STUDENT TAKEOVER DAY FOUR - .by.bel - This afternoon I shot the University’s Netball squad varsity photos. The squad isn’t announced yet so I can’t post the photos, so instead I share some previous headshot work I’ve done for other university teams.

STUDENT TAKEOVER DAY THREE - .by.bel

This evening I was part of a team editing European football for Getty Images, captioning live photographs sent from Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad and England vs Spain amongst other matches.

Doing this part time job alongside the course has given me a great insight into the sports photography industry.

STUDENT TAKEOVER .by.bel, Yesterday I shadowed Getty Images’ Netball Super League Official headshots with Staff Photographers Alex Pantling and Dan Mullan.

It was fantastic to witness industry professionals in action and gain a better understanding of the photographic process and lighting set ups.

I got to have a go at directing and shooting a few of the subjects for the ‘celebration’ headshots, helping build my communication and portraiture skills.

Having Being nominated by students for anything, at any time is amazing, to be nominated in two categories is something else.

But to walk away with one of the student led awards is something that we can’t even describe. Those who know Paul, know that everything he does is aimed to make students feel confident and proud of who they are and who they could be.

The work isn’t done.
