When Blackhurst Budd Solicitors needed some new profile images for their website, Managing Director Warren Spencer wanted to give local budding photographers a chance to gain some invaluable experience.
Having contacted the course leader on the BA (Hons) Photography course at Blackpool and Fylde College, an agreement was made for a group of students to visit the offices and discuss what was required. The team then came back and did a day’s worth of images of the staff, teams and offices.
“Our staff photos were ready for updating and this seemed a great way for the firm to give something back to the community, rather than bring someone in from outside of Blackpool. Our donation for their time and efforts will also help fund their exhibition later this year” commented Warren.
Jon Row, Programme Leader said “We were delighted to be asked to help Blackhurst Budd with this project and the students involved gained useful experience in operating as commercial photographers. The firm’s kind donation will go a long way towards the cost of the end of year degree group exhibition at the Free Range in London.”
If any other local businesses would like to discuss using the services of the Blackpool and Fylde College photography department please contact Jonathan.Rowe@blackpool.ac.uk
