4 I am currently studying towards achieving my FDA in contemporary photography. I am a mature
5 student and I would really like to achieve my full BA HONS with a view to be able to teach in
6 the future.
7
8 Photography is my passion, 3 years ago I had never picked up a digital camera, and at 35 I
9 completely started again after spending time raising my family. This has turned into something
10 which i am striving to achieve a career path in. Its been something i have focused on and from
11 which I wish to achieve a successful career within the industry.
12
13 I work harder than any student I know. I have achieved distinctions throughout whilst raising
14 three children on my own, one with severe learning difficulties and i have started my own
15 small photography business from scratch. i am driven, determined and i work so hard to achieve
16 everything myself.
17
18 i am currently studying towards my FDA in contemporary photography under Plymouth university,
19 at Weymouth college. This course has been an amazing starting ground for me, and I feel as
20 this is my last and only shot at university, i would love to experience a large and well
21 connected establishment for my final year in education.
22
23 Previous to my FDA i had completed my diploma in photography at a triple distinction level.
24 this was a part time course and was what ignited my passion to the subject.
25
26 I was an under achiever my entire life, I came out of school and care with nothing to show and
27 had my eldest son who has down syndrome age 19. i had an unhappy life that 4 years ago i
28 decided to change, leaving with the shirts on our backs and ending up in a refuge with
29 nothing. i realised i had nothing to fall back on, no qualifications, nothing to be able to
30 earn enough of a salary to support myself and my family.
31
32 This has given me the drive and get up to get my education finally before I hit 40 so I can
33 stand on my own two feet and become a success in my own right.
34
35 I have a small business called wedontdoposes that I have equipt and built up myself, I work a
36 lot for different causes for free to gain experience, including homeless shelters and in
37 support of the woman's refuge in Dorset. I also regularly work for Dorset volunteer service
38 for any sort of photography they should need. I shoot alot of family portraits but i am ready
39 for the next level in my career and this qualification
40
41 I would love to gain knowledge in this field and challenge myself and my skill sets to further
42 my career. Teaching is something I would love to do with my qualification, I am keen to work
43 in most areas of the profession that i can work around my family.

Simon Morrissey the crooked way
Notes from a lecture
how to scale an idea.
foreground is a company which Simon himself founded. after many years of working his way up and self teaching himself the ropes within the industry, he decided after the birth of his daughter to relocate from busy London and the bustle to sleepy Frome. The transition has worked well for him, although the work behind what he does is extensive. It is also extremely rewarding to someone with a such creative scope and ideas as himself.
he has taken his compassion of contemporary arts and his mission is to take it to different audiences within the community. he did this by starting out as a fundraising intern, and began as a writer, writing about his passion for art. he sent of to the arts magazines and architecture mags. with exposure and investment he began to build a profile within the industry.
His lecture taught me the importance of work experience and the absolute necessary quality of being able to approach people and ask for collaborations. Stay true and ambitious to your cause. to learn a mosaic of funding.
* Henry Moore foundation grant
* Arts council
* Local money
* Peoples time
Make an impact be distinctive.
Research approaching the artist Micheal Dean, from my kind of background. ask about collaborating for kids with disadvantaged backgrounds.
keep ideas big, without spending the money.
invest in the idea
plan wages, staff, artist fee’s, travel expenses, budget for marketing, brainstorm marketing ideas like children's workshops, local schools, youth clubs, graffiti workshops, local councils. think about all parts to make it happen. go through the structure step by step for planning for funding. be flexible when selling your idea, tailor the speech towards who you are gearing it too.
develop ideas for art within art.
stickers, posters, tote bags, keep it cheap, publicity, branding, public paces, merchandise, product placement, working with other artists.

This is so cool!! Even if it's working for free making the tea it would be awesome to be involved in a large project. The contacts that could be made and the experience alone would be invaluable. This would give me great insight. Very excited.
