I’ve been making notes so far of the different experiences from the lectures and have decided to put some focus on my own personal brand, I’ve already created numerous social media accounts but I needed to focus on elevating the professional level of them.
I already made an account for my photography work under the name of AdamElsonPhotos and have already uploaded some work from the second year, mainly my night time images of Chester and promotion for my second year project. However I needed to start using this profile as a means of not just my photos as a means of contacting other people, so I changed the settings of my profile to identify it as a professional photography account. I discovered that Earls of Manchester have an Instagram account that I can contact to inform and share my final photos with them.

I had an old account attached to my email address that featured work way before I began my photography course in Mid Cheshire, I deleted my old images so that they don’t clash with my new uploads and changed the identity to fit my current brand. I can use Flickr as a archive of my photography as well as a means to sell images online which can be helpful for both the money as well as expanding my brand to other people and businesses interested in my photos.
