On Sunday April 7th I am volunteering as a photographer at an event at Exeter Phoenix. I came across the event through Facebook because I follow Devon Live on Facebook so I get most of their news articles pop up on my timeline. This one really stood out to me because it was about a sausage dog pop up cafe that is coming to Exeter called Pup Up Cafe.
I have heard of these events before but there have never been any happening locally. This one stood out to me because I have always wanted to attend one of these events and I have a little sausage dog myself so I was planning on taking her. I then thought about whether they had a photographer for the event because I read on the Facebook page that there would be a photographer at the event.
I got in touch with them just out of interest to ask whether they needed a photographer for the event. I have attached our conversation thread below:
They have kindly agreed for myself and my little sausage dog to go along free of charge to take photos of the event for them. The type of photos they want are just photos of people having a good time with the sausage dogs and to show the interaction between human and dog. They're also going to have props as well so I'll be photographing the dogs with the props. I'm really looking forward to the event because I have always wanted to attend one let alone help photograph at the event. I haven't done an event like this before where I am pretty much in charge of taking whatever photos I want with them giving me a bit of guidance so I didn't really know what type of questions I needed to ask them but I've asked them if I need to bring different lenses and any lights and they said because they're not photographers themselves they just said a moderate zoom lens. Im going to take with me three lenses as I feel I'll get the best results and different angles of the event with the different lenses. I'm going to take both of my lenses which are a 10-18mm lens and 18-55mm lens. I have also booked out a 50mm lens as well from the ERC to pick up the Friday before the event. I have chosen to book out the 50mm lens because when I assisted at the wedding a couple of weeks ago I used a 50mm lens and it was really good for general pictures of people walking around etc.
I'm also classed as staff on the day as I'm going to have my own t-shirt for the day which I'm quite excited for, hopefully I can keep it as a souvenir!!
