Hi, I’m Emma! 

As an events officer, this will be my main goal: to create unique, regular events that encourage exploration and teach new skills.

Here are some new session ideas: 

• ‘Capture a quote’ = take photos that reflect a meaningful quote to you
• ‘Mixed media’ = add to your photos, e.g. sewing, drawing, collaging
• ‘What’s this?’ = capture an object in an unconventional way, e.g. focus on texture
• ‘Boring…wait hold on?!’ = use context to support photo, build intrigue
• ‘Is this a dream?’ = capture a surreal feeling (potential long exposure workshop)

I will also organise more talks:

• ‘Strike a pose’ = explaining posing techniques
• ‘Portraits’ followed by self-portraits and LinkedIn-style headshot workshop

More excursions and themed events will spark inspiration:

• Celebration, e.g. International Women’s Day: photograph a strong woman in your life
• ‘Tourist-ing’: photographing London landmarks early in the morning

I will also liaise collaborative events with other societies, such as sports, fashion and literature. This provides a great opportunity to photograph different genres, meet new people and fuse your ideas! My previous work as a personal relations intern developed my communication and media skills; I will use these for collaborations, inviting professional speakers and partnering with other universities.

Finally, I would like to propose a year-long project: vlogging the events. This will be a great way for members to practise videography and explore the world of content creation!
