just left univeristy where i got a 2.1 fine art degree. i am an exceptional artist and poet, and am now looking for a new path to follow.

art therapy?

photojournalism?

creative florist?!!

i dont want to be a teacher!

any advice or ideas on working in the art industry?

congrats on 2.1 that’s superb. I think you should try out different fields such as art therapy or photojournalism and just see how you find them. You could be surprised by what you find you love most.

I have digital photography and retouching studio …i should make website soon but still dont have
any name for it ..
any suggestions ?

The only thing that comes to mind besides [Your Name] Photography is Lackuva Creativity Studios.

I’ve no experience in digital photography and my friend has asked me to photo some of her hair styles that she’s doing at a top hair salon. The people I will be photographing will be people off the street which will not be expecting me to photo them and are doing me a favour. I will be doing it with a hand held digital camera inside. What will I do for lighting and composition to get the best results for my friends portfolio? Basic photo tips for photographing hair without studio resources?

Christy’s advice is great! Use her tips and add these 2:

1. shoot from a position a little above the model since you are featuring hair (if you shoot from below the model, you’ll get more face than hair), and

2. if the camera has an optical (not digital) zoom, use it at its max, but make sure to fill the frame with your subject–the longer focal length is more flattering for portraits.
