Hi Everyone

What a great evening at the Voodoo Rooms in Edinburgh for the Graduation Ball for Heriot Watt Chemistry students on saturday.  I had already covered a previous annual ball event for this group of students and as a professional event photographer from Scotland, it's great to be asked back.  Your job as a freelancer is much easier when the people you photograph are relaxed in your presence and they also have the confidence you are going to do a good job and that was certainly the case with this event.  Making you feel welcome is an integral part of ensuring the event photography is a success.  I love photographing these graduation balls, you are photographing young educated people in their prime.  As they are young, they tend to be more receptive to candid/reportage photography, which is more my thing anyway.  As any corporate and event photographer will tell you, if you are pretty much given the creative freedom to achieve good results you tend to do far better, well at least I do anyway, there may however be, photographers who thrive on more of a structured routine.  So it was a good evening and I was able to take all type of shots.  Thought I would maybe even have a dance as well, or maybe not.  So thank you to Rachael and the gang at the graduation event last saturday.

Anyway, until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin
