RB Flash Studio is my own small Photography and craft business that I’ve set at home. I‘m a quick and cheerful business owner, who doesn’t mind mucking in and getting the job done. Whether it’s picking and packing, organising, returning, heat pressing stickers on T-shirt or stocking. Personalising gift boxes, glasses, wedding stickers and decal vinyl, keychains, wedding ring trays and lots. Managing a business is really hard, I was responsible for keeping all the products in stock and ordering when stock ran out. I also select items for orders and dispatched them. I pack over 200-300 lines daily, selecting storage space, arranging packing for goods, receiving, moving, checking and receiving goods for accurate quality, type and acceptable quality.

I started my Professional photography business when I was 18 year old, and I’ve been a Freelance photographer for the past 6 years, beginning as an event photographer while pursuing my studies in Photography. As my true passion lies in taking photos of people, I transitioned into portrait photography and I’ve spend most of my 3 years shooting weddings, fashion, events as well as children, commercial and also wildlife.

I’m responsible for photographing, printing photos, editing, organising and publishing photos. Responsible for accounting, contract agreements, customer services to clients regarding scheduling appointment and photo shoots.

I worked at Kashmir Mart (Grocers & Convenience Store). I really enjoyed working there; I loved the responsibilities they gave me and the people were really nice and kind. My duties included cleaning the floors and shelves, stocking and tidying the shelves and carrying out stock rotation for the next day. I also received training on using the tills, and now I’m quite professional at it. I helped customers, put away deliveries, checked prices and kept the work area clean and safe. I opened the store in the morning and closed it at the end of the day. I really enjoyed working on the till as it gave me extra responsibilities and boosted my confidence.

I worked as a professional photographer at Made in Bury Business Award Event. My objective was to record the event and take photographs suitable for future advertising. I was required to take photographs of the people at the event, as well as each individual stall. Many of the creative shots I took have been used on their website to showcase their work and promote their business. I also edited and retouched a selection of these photos using Photoshop and Lightroom to make them look more professional and meet the client’s needs.

I worked as a photographer’s assistant on jewellery and couple’s photoshoot. I assisted a professional photographer, organising equipments and setting up the shoots, including backdrops and studio lighting. I was also responsible for maintaining all of the equipment and transporting it between locations.
