New Pricing Guides

2010-02-08T03:56:00.000-08:00

It became clear to me that the old pricing page was a little confusing and all muddled together.

So I have split up all the different sections and given them their own pages. There is also now room for a more detailed description of the various packages.

Please do bear in mind however that each case is completely unique so the prices listed are all averages. The packages themselves can be tailored to meet individual needs and requirements.

Blog integration & other things

2010-01-22T05:09:00.000-08:00

I have spent most of the morning today trying to mesh the blog and the website together. Hopefully you are reading this now at www.adam-august.co.uk/blog...?

Was quite a task as I didnt really know what I was doing and all the tutorials that I found were from a while back & in the fast paced world if the interweb, coding waits for no man!

In other news, adverts are now up and running on facebook in the Kent & SE London areas. They have thus far had well over 100k viewings in little over a week. Hopefully will bring in some new clients. Watch this space.

Facebook & Twitter

2010-01-17T10:18:00.000-08:00

Just a quick one today.

Just to let you know that Adam August Photography is now officially on Facebook and Twitter. Spread the word and add yourselves to the pages.

Thanks

Advertisment of the company

2010-01-13T14:38:00.000-08:00

I took a whole new step forward with advertisment today. First of all I got a phone call from a woman from NHS247.com which is a social networking site for NHS workers, asking if I would like to be listed as one of three photographers in Kent on thier pages.

They prefer that the merchants that they list offer a discount through the site, so if I do go ahead, NHS workers will be entitled to a discount.

Secondly, I am now advertising through Facebook Ads. I am marketing to people from kent who are listed as either being in a relationship, or engaged. Let me know if you see the advert live.

New Website & other activities!

2009-11-28T13:03:00.000-08:00

Following the announcement that I am opening up Adam August Photography as a Wedding, Event & Portraiture photography business, I am please to announce also that there will be a brand spanking new website parked at www.adam-august.co.uk very soon to replace the old portfolio site.

The new site will be geared up more as a business than a showcase website. Hopefully this should help me start to bring in some custom off of the web.

Talking of new custom from the web... I thought this was a good link... Adam August Photography is now slightly more 'googleable' (is that a word?) since I added the business to google maps. It seems that if you enter the search terms "Adam August" & "Adam August Photography", the website appears at 5th and 1st place respectivly.

Hopfully when the google maps listing is added (within the next 48hrs) the site will also be listed if you search for Bromley or Kent Photography. This would theoretically provide contact details and a link to the website.

Exciting stuff I hear you say with incredible enthusiasm.

Ah well, I think thats just about it for now.

New venture revealed!

2009-11-16T18:07:00.000-08:00

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I am about to undertake an new venture.

After a long period of thinking hard about my future, trying to find work in a recession without much professional experience, but alot of technical knowledge and artistic merit, seems to get you nowhere (even if you are willing to work for bread money & perform back breaking labour).

So I have decided to go it alone as it were.

Thats right, Adam August is now going to be a full time self employed photographer, covering all sorts of various disciplines, such as weddings & live events, portrait (studio as well as home) and much much more.

As things stand right now, I am in the process of drafting business plans and contracts as well as looking into what equipment to buy first (limited budgets and all that jazz!).

My vague business plan, as it stands, includes the addition of videography a year or two down the line, depending on how things go. This would then include things such as music videos as well as working as the freelance DOP with my own equipment.

So if anyone needs an event or portrait photographer, you know where to look.
Head over to the website where there are contact options. I will be posting up guide prices as soon as I get my package options all sorted out and priced up. But at the moment you will need to contact me for a quote.

New Adventures!

2009-10-02T09:56:00.000-07:00

Well, without giving too much away I am about to embark on quite a big & possibly life changing adventure. More details of this will be posted up on here over the next week, once I have managed to wrap my head around them myself.

Until then...

Adam

Wedding Photography

2009-08-22T14:53:00.000-07:00

Today was my first experience as a wedding photographer... A friend of mine, Natalie Bennett, asked me a couple of months ago if I could help her with this wedding job that she had, that turned out in the end to be reduced to only taking the preperation photos of the bride and enterage.

I think we mangaged to get some very good results, some of which will be posted under the new photography section of the website over the next couple of days.

New website.

2009-08-01T05:21:00.001-07:00

I feel that it is time for a bit of a make over of the main website, so I am currently redesigning the whole site.

It will now include a section on writing.

Let you know when it is up and running.

Recluse - a new lease of life!

2009-05-01T12:26:00.000-07:00

The script that I wrote and directed for my graduation project at Uni, is currently being adapted into a novel. Progress has picked up recently and I have been thinking about publishing little bits of the story in paragraphs on this very blog over the next few weeks and months - so keep checking back and let me know what you think.

So far I have completed the first chapter and have bits and bobs from later on in the book, they just keep popping into my mind and I can't let them get away so I just write them down!!

Will keep you posted on how it is going.

IMDB Listing.

2009-05-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

Alejandra Viejo Lopez de Roda's award winning 'The rose and the poison tree' from last year has now been given a listing on the internet movie database (IMDB.com).

This of course means, that as the cinematographer, I have had a profile created. You can see it here, the issue with me being merged with another Adam August has now been resolved so I am Adam August (II).

There is also a trailer for the film linked to both pages & of course my show reel is available here.
