Congratulations!

Even though I had real trouble with Wix, and I got really confused; I persevered with the site and finally got my site up and running. I have chosen just to keep the site as the free version for now, just while I am in the progress of uploading more photographs; along with sorting out other details such as email addresses.
The images that I have uploaded so far are my narrative brief, along with photographs from a wedding I did last year; located in lifestyle. I also put onto the site a few images from a promo shoot I did for a friend last year who is trying to become a Gym Model. I feel happy that I have my website up and running, I feel more motivated to get my work up and on the site asap; wanting to show more.
My website needs alot of work but the start is the beginning to making it better, with the more work I do the more I can upload and update my website. All the research that I have done on Photographer's websites are updated along with the work that they create throughout the year; keeping people updated and interested in their work. This is something that I aspire to when creating my website because this is where I believe photographers keep their fans updated and interested.  

Website Building.

I'm finding wix confusing to understand as its not very clear in terms of telling you prices or what they can offer you in a package. The other sites are clear on what they are trying to sell you, along with telling you what you will have when buying a certain package. They just follow through and dont tell you anything till you sign up and start making your website. Although I really do like the design on the right hand side of the cut that I have taken from the website; I think this is what I will want my website to look like.
Working through the website I started creating my website although I dont understand why the payment is being brought up in dollars. The confusion of the site has be questioning the safety of making the website and paying for the use of my domain.

After creating the site so far I have decided to leave it for today and look at it tomorrow with a fresh mind, because of the constant stress of trying to get the site sorted; I feel that I am overlooking the obvious answers. Although overall I have decided that this is the website to go with, once I understand it properly.

Work experience - Annie Leibowitz

Over the past couple of modules Annie Leibowitz has been a real inspiration to me and my work, as I love the work she creates in regards to fairy tales and non-reality. Such extravagant scenes and sets that create photography that looks as if its been taken from a dream, this is the work that I personally would like to create in further years of my photography.
In regards to work experience I started researching for Annie Leibowitz to see about getting work experience with her, although on my travels I came across a website/blogg from an intern who was about to work with her team. I started my research here to see what to expect from such an big photographer, what the intern would entail if I was lucky enough to get anywhere close to working with or for her team.
The second photograph is from his follow up post about how good the experience was along with how nice Leibowitz was to him in regards to being a new becoming photographer. Reading through this blog, has made me want to stretch further in regards to getting a good work placement; going the extra mile for a better experience. In regards to reading this blogg I am now currently rewriting my Vogue application, writing an email draft to send to Leibowitz; hoping for the same luck as this intern.

book making #2

ive looked into more about book making, although i will still have a portfolio box. i want to have a book that has all my fairytale work within, as fairytales are read from books.
the book size would be A4 a decent size but easy to move around.

Narrative Project.

My first brief - Narrative.
Choosing an email I created this piece of work from a H&M email advertising a new clothing line that was coming out in the next month (Jan 2013). The email allowed me to work with fairytales because of the unrealistic image that advertised the clothing line, fairytales being my topic of interest to work with.
I named each of the photographs after a piece of clothing that was taken from the H&M catalogue for spring 2013, the catalogue names represented the email in terms of fashion; although I recreated a fashion through fairytales.
These photographs will be my first images that will be put onto my website. I hope to keep the same theme with all my photographs that I will upload, the consistency of images will show where my interests lye. Although I will add other photographs of different briefs and interests to show the broadness of my photography.

MoonFruit - template examples

These are three templates that I liked the most of the site. They are clear with photographs although I would worrying with the surfing template due to a photograph being behind my other photographs. The one with the woman sat down is probably my favourite because it has a clearer background for my images to be displayed on.

MoonFruit Website Maker - Research

Looking into MoonFruit the first thing that is brought up with the site is the pricing. They have three prices that can be paid monthly or annually, with lots of different themes and designs you can choose. The difference being standard, plus and max, the main difference being the storage space that you have within the site. The picture below shows the three categories that you can choose from, the lowest price being £15.

The site is also really good in terms of in case you need help. There is a help guide that allows you to download PDFs to read and find out what you can do with the help you need. The questions that are most frequently asked can be found within this guide, which is helpful with knowing that there is an outcome to needed help.

Terms and conditions are found below in the images. The piece that I print screened is the first statements that are told to the user before making the website with them. The only problem, is that you have to go find the information yourself. Although the terms and conditions are clear and not that hard to find, if wanted to.

I will consider using this website maker because it is clear and easy to use and follow. This is what I need when making such a complicated website, in terms of work load uploading.
