Planning and Project Management
Planned and Project managed 5 separate commercial lifestyle photography shoots with 5 separate established registered charities over a 6 week period.
YOUNG MANCHESTER – REGISTERED CHARITY
Young Manchester – a new charity whose goal is to bring together a select group of charities, already working with young people in and around Greater Manchester, under their umbrella. Young Manchester commissioned Neilson Reeves photography to creatively capture the work these different charities already do with young people. The lifestyle photography would then feature at a photography exhibition, forming the centre piece of their launch event, their new website, future publicity and PR.
Young Manchester only had a 6 week window to launch the charity and wanted their launch event to feature a photography exhibition as the centre piece. Within this time window we had to arrange 5 separate photoshoots with each individual charity. Some of the charities only work 1 or 2 evenings a week and one of the charities was on a field trip to Ghyll Head Outdoor Education Centre. We managed the whole process from beginning to end in this short window.
Planned and carried out 5 separate photoshoots at each charity and captured one charity on location in Ghyll Head Outdoor Education Centre
Water Adventure Centre
A selection of images captured in a one hour window at Water Adventure Centre Droylsden Manchester
Wythenshawe Community Housing Group
A selection of commercial lifestyle photography captured at Ghyll Head Outdoor Education Centre during a caving trip with a disability group.
Young Identity – Spoken Word Group
This shoot was quite a challenge because capturing a spoken word group writing poetry is not easy and required some creative thinking. We opted for Black and White photography to really isolate the subject to help the viewer focus on what was happening. The visual poetry side of the shoot was a little easier. Here is a small selection of black and white photography created.
The Addy Young Peoples Centre
The Addy Young Peoples Centre is a facility in Wythenshawe with outdoor adventure play and indoor activities. The challenge was to shoot the outdoor adventure play area while children in attendance after school in October with limited window of natural light and good weather.
Young Manchester Youth
Young Manchester took a group of young people to Manchester Town Hall Council Chambers to discuss and debate economic issues that affect young people in Greater Manchester. Here is sample of images captured
Photography Exhibition
The final stage of the photography commission was to print and mount large format prints and set up the exhibition. We even captured the launch event attended by many of the charities patrons and trustees plus lots of the young people who are actively engaged with the different charities on display.
To ensure all our clients get the most out of their photography we supply and build a cloud based image library giving them access to images anywhere in the world. Unlike Google Drives or other methods of sharing large files, the image library allows the client to download images in different sizes and not just one large unwieldy file. This saves loads of time as no need to involve IT with image sizing for a quick tweet or blog post for example.
