Are you planning to start your own independent law practice? Working for a senior lawyer and taking up independent briefs to earn more is not something that you want to do for your whole life. The general norm is that junior lawyers are paid less and are not exposed to ‘business’ aspects of running their own practice. Here is what it takes to start on your own. Remember that lawyers are restricted from advertising in India so your work should speak for you. Building your brand is something you’ll have to focus on from early days. Networking and writing (articles etc.) are good skills to have for successful independent practitioners. According to Sirisha Sampat, Solicitor practicing at Mumbai, “Finding your niche is crucial and will help you go a long way. Rather than being a general practitioner who takes up all kinds of matters, it would be ideal to stick to two or three areas of practice, if not one. It will reduce competition. You will also get referrals from other lawyers who do not delve into that area of practice. If you can handle the initial struggle, there is no profession as rewarding as the legal profession.” #lawpractice #independentpractice #lawprofessional #bizstart #businessideas #businessowner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBdHqf8luJq/?igshid=1nsymk8s7b5cw
It’s now just before hand in and I found my lost analogue images, I really like the outcome of these and would like to possibly try more in the future but more fashion like. I liked trying the splatter technique Hesse by a past student but wasn’t as good.the last images are the final images that will be shown in the exhibition. I wanted to have one dark one light just to see if it would improve from dodging and burning but it looked worse.

Independent practice.
For this module my head was a bit all over the place.
I started off with the idea of doing natural studio portraits possibly of workers, friends and family and stranger, as a few different series’
But as I got into the module more I soon realised that I wanted to pursue my love for fashion and develop from the B24/7 that we had with Chris, and work with more independent designers, so I did.
My first shoot was with Hannah who I did the Bristol shoot with for Martin Booth.
As soon as we finished the location shoot she wanted to do a studio shoot and I was really up for it, she came prepared with everything, even glitter and we got some nice shots. However the shot because more of a production line to get as much done as possibly so we didn’t focus as much as they were for her website too. Therefore if I got the chance I’d like to spend more time on single shots rather than clicking away.
After shooting with Hannah she recommended a girl called Alice to me who would then be my second shoot. She owns her own headband business making flower crowns, head dress etc and her stuff is really pretty and unique. For this shoot she even managed to get her MUA friend to collaborate on the shoot as well but I wasn’t happy at the fact she was hung over on the day of shoot and delaying things. 3 of these images I have decided on for the exhibition and after a while of editing I finally managed to smooth out her skin thanks to the help of our lecturer Emilie and YouTube tutorials.
Overall this shoot was a success and I loved the images, although it was hard to edit the acne out like she wanted.
Shoot number 3 ended up being a collaboration between Alice’s Polly Wonder business and her friend that works with her at Rex that used to be at Cabot, called Emshandmade.
They worked for a fee weeks making headbands and clothes to match one another and Em brought her model friend Hannah along who does most of her photos for her social media.
I must say out of all of the collaborations with designers coming in, this had to be my favourite, it was very relaxed and we had a laugh as well as having a model with experience was great! It made things easier and quicker and the shoot was a success. I have chosen 3 of the images for the exhibition as well.
Final shoot I had was with Daniella. She received some clothes for her project on Ale Ravalli clothing and I couldn’t help but see her suiting those clothes, I asked her if she would like to shoot and she was up for it, it was a rather short shoot but the images I managed to get, didn’t need to make the shoot any longer as I was happy with them.
After taking he images I asked Ale Ravalli (Alessandra) herself if I could use the images as well as sending her over the unedited images. I explained how Dani had that look about her and had to shoot the images. Her response was positive and she liked the images
Overall this had to be another favourite of mine and I chose 3 of the images to exhibit later on.
For our brief we also had to photograph for KWMC (knowledge west media centre) for this shoot we had to go out and ask people questions about Knowle West/Fillwood and photograph them and photograph something to represent them or about the community.
I honestly wasn’t a big fan of this shoot but I did manage to get a few nice shots. I didn’t like this so much as I’m not great at approaching people therefore wasn’t enjoyable.
We also had to do a shoot for BBC Bristol on Pioneering Women and to start with I didn’t know who to shoot but after working with up and coming independent designers I thought it would be a great idea to photograph Alice (Polly Wonder) at Rex. It inspired me due to the fact that she has come from where I am and has gone on to do her own thing which is what I’d like to do in the future.
I wasn’t so happy with the outcome for this due to lighting issues however it was a good experience.
Lastly for the exhibition we started looking at framing options and Emilie helped me measure everything up so that everything should fit p refectory and now mistakes, I’m glad I got this help as I wasn’t sure how to hang my work, whether it be with or without frames but I have finally got my 6 x a2 and 3 x a3 ready to print for the exhibition.
Overall this was a great outcome for this module, I’m glad I changed my mind and done what I enjoyed more than what I’d end up in and it was a fun experience. I got to meet some lovely people along the way and hope to keep contact for the future.

Skin smoothing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89AowdLeZUA&t=77s
Above is a link to how I smoothed out the images to get rid of acne.
how its done
command J , command I - vivid light (adjustment that says normal)
Filter - other - high pass (set to 24.0)
Filter - blur - gaussian blur (set to 4)
alt and drag layer to layer mask
use paint brush and make sure opacity is at 100%
cover problem areas and reduce opacity to less to make less fake.
Editing final images
For some reason when it came to resizing this image sit was a lot thinner than the others.
To solve the problem I extended the canvas to the right size and cloned in the backdrop that matched the edge of the original image.
Final layout and images of exhibition spaces
Here is the final set of images for my exhibition. it has taken a lot of time and editing to get to this stage but I got there eventually.
I am happy with the images I have chosen and they are edited to how I want them, I am looking forward to seeing them up in the show.
