Phone photography

I like taking photos and have often considered buying a proper camera but you know what?….. I’m never going to carry a giant camera around! I want to whip a “camera” out of my pocket and capture the moment before it’s gone. This also means I can turn around pictures super quick. I can walk around an event, sit in a cafe and within a few hours the pictures are on your socials. Some photos are edited using native iPhone editing or Snapseed app but most of these are just about composition and timing.

About

Hi,  I’m Sarah. I’m a freelance Digital marketing, Content creation and Events coordinator based in Fremantle. Western Australia. I have broad marketing experience. Why?   Because I can’t sit still!  The marketplace is always changing and I am driven to experiment with all the new shiny things. I learn by being thrown a project,  researching the hell out of it,  watching a bunch of YouTube videos and then JUST DOING IT! I’ve had to be resourceful because the organisations I’ve worked for haven’t had big budgets.

100dayproject

100 day project

So here goes ….I’m going do the #100dayproject. I listened to this podcast and then read this article and its time to give it a go! You have to commit to creating something everyday for 100 days. My project is ‘crafting with a toddler’ The plan is to minimise purchasing materials by using up the giant box of craft stuff I have been “saving” for 3 years.

Walk with the Windsors

This project was a collaboration between the Commonwealth walkway project, City of Fremantle local history and Fremantle Story.   This trail required substantial research compared to  previous trails I have developed for Fremantle Story.   The biggest challenge was finding a way to make visiting namesake streets and buildings more engaging while telling the story of Fremantles connection to the monarchy. I think we did a pretty amazing job since the City of Fremantle had the Mayor plugging the trail in the lead up to Megan and Harrys Wedding!  See for yourself at  http://www.fremantlestory.com.au/explore     Image credit: Fremantle Ports.
