Joe’s visit was very interesting he talked about his job as an “in house” Jewellery photographer, and his six months assisting the artist Mishka Henner in his studio in Manchester. Joe discussed the differences between Jewellery Photography and the photoshop based work he did with Mishka using photo merge, although these two genres are very different he talked about the transferable skills he brought with him how he learned the need for patience and how his attention to detail needed in the work he did for Mishka’s has served him well in his new position.

He also gave us some advice he urged us never to refuse a photography job, as even though it might not be what you want to do, you may learn some new skills you can use in the future, also always remember you are extending your network with everyone you meet. Always carry your business cards!
