guest lecture (21-10-16)

Holly Falconer
got her first job on diva and gay times magazine and then quit the magazine to start assisting. 

Falconer worked as a Sales assistant at night and assisted for free during the day

Started working for Buck magazine but that didn't last very long and moved on to assist properly.

Falconers main bit of advice was to make a few good contacts in the industry because you never know if it will pay off and to be nice to everyone. 

When she started she just wanted to take pictures about her life, and embraced exploring identity. 

Started Photographing:
  • Protests
  • Asexuality
  • female drag queens
Started with an event called Neston Female day  set up by Neston Female society.

Photographed a protest by sisters uncut an anti domestic violence group. 

Falconer told us that personal projects can lead to commissions and also told us we don't have to assist but its better if we do.
