Education & Development

Allsaints London Studios - Photography Studio/Visual - Work Experience

Allsaints Jack Place ​• August 2017 - September 2017                    

Key Areas of Learning:  Styling / Retouching & Digital Approaches / Organisational Skills

The internship with the Studio was a great way for me to see how an Ecommerce worked from production to online trade. I contributed in the studio with sample care which involves prepping all samples for shooting, making sure labels are returned, studio maintenance, styling and photography.

In regards to production I organised samples both physically and digitally. I was granted the chance to retouch some of the images for the Allsaints website. It was a fantastic opportunity as I gained experience with Styling, Photography and production as well as it being a great platform to see a little more into a company I enjoy. This has lead for my own personal images on my Instagram account to be recognised by Allsaints, some being featured on the website currently.
