Things have taken an exciting turn as of late. Not everything has been rosy, far from it, but the outcome is promising.
Last July came the end of my work close-end contract. It has been a very demanding job and came with a sizeable commute. My passion for this type of work had died some time ago and I was ready for a change anyway. Deep inside I was hoping to find less-demanding employment in a different field so I would have more time for photography. Dream big, as the say goes!
What was for sure demanding was attempting a career change in the middle of an economic recession. This is not for the faint of heart! But I did eventually find suitable employment. I now have a part-time position very close to where I live. While the work itself is not the most exciting, I have great colleagues and time flies while I am there. The good news is that I now have plenty of time for my photography!
The idea of starting my own photography business was laid on slightly uncertain grounds. However, stars have aligned for this to happen, it seems. I couldn’t be more excited!
You may have noticed the brand new website (if not, try www.mellypotter.com). We offer a Christmas promotion at the minute (see “Promotion” on the website) and I prepared wedding packages (available upon request) for summer 2012. Please have a look and spread the word!
On this, I leave you with an inspiring photograph of one of my favourite mini-models. Enjoy!
