Bit of a belated introduction to our newest faces here at Cooper Studio – Ella & Breanna. Both girls have joined the team as a part of their work experience for High School, and it has been a pleasure having them in the studio! It’s amazing how helpful an extra pair of hands can be, so we are very grateful to have both girls helping out in exchange for a chance to learn the ropes at a studio.
Our first introduction is for Ella – she has written a few words about her experience so far. We will properly introduce Breanna in the same way later in the week, but for now, here’s Ella!
For my Year 11 Workplace Learning Program I was in search of a work placement in Photography. Ever since I was young I envied all genres in photography but personally grew a stronger interest for taking children and baby Portraits as I got older, having a big family is probably the reason for that. I’ve always aspired to become a Photographer so I figured it would be an excellent experience to begin my ambitions by doing this program. When I was searching I came across Cooper Studio, a high-end business in Photography near by. I sent an email about my request to do Work Experience for them and why they should consider me. Soon after I received a phone call about my email and how they’d like me to come down for an interview. I arrived at the interview and that was when I met Craig, I was really nervous but he made me feel welcome. The interview went well and soon after I was told I got accepted.
So far my time here at Cooper Studio has been incredible. In such little time I’ve learnt so much about the Photography Industry and I’ve met the most friendliest people to work with. I assisted at the first photo shoot I’d ever been too and it was very overwhelming, just being behind the scenes of a photo shoot was a massive privilege so you could only imagine how excited I was to be able to help out, I loved it.
Receiving this opportunity to work at Cooper Studio has definitely determined me to strive harder and hopefully set myself onto the right path to becoming a Photographer. I’ve even started to set new goals to help me with that aspiration like getting a certificate for being a Master Photographer just like Craig.With no hesitation I could easily say I’ll treasure this experience for the rest of my life.
