They got back to me saying to me that they would be interested and that they could be able to souce the models themselves for a fee of course which is underrstandable. I sent them an email listing what I wanted from them and ideas for the shoot.

Instead of giving up I contacted a local studio and asked them for some help and if they would be interested in me hiring their venue and doing a shoot. I also asked them if it would be possible for them to souce the models themselves.

The second is that the agency's owner knew someone who defrauded me last year out of £850 I know that it wasn't her who defrauded me but I didn't really have much faith in this person plus she was charging the earth for the shoot.

Hi, hope that you are all well. Yesterday I decided with a heavy heart to cancel my KISS shoot on 13th October. This was due to two reasons; the first was the fact that the models that I wanted to work with have left the industry.

I thought that this was a good place to start after I launched the exhibtion and it was a way of making new contacts and connections for my photography.

This is what I did and ended up emailing them my flyer from my exhibition which I held a couple of weeks ago and also the price list from that event and as well as that my CV.

He responded by saying that the artwork belonged to local artists and yes I could maybe sell mine there. He also told me that there was a £30 charge to display my work no commission on top of that and that I could maybe email something to them.

Here I noticed artwork which was being sold I ordered a tea and also some food and when the owner brough it to my table I asked him about the artwork in question hoping to enquire about my photos.

I would also like to go back on the dating game and to meet young like minded women who would be open to both friendship, dating and also something more serious in the future if possible. What I need to ask myself is what is next for me?

I would also like to achieve all of my goals which I have set myself for this year as well as also focusing on both my photography and my writing as well as also looking out for new opportunities in other fields if possible.

There are four important aspects which I would like to be able to focus on now the first is my family continuing to care for my grandmother and staying strong for the rest of my family as well as also focusing on myself and my work as well as my friends.

In addition I would also like to get myself involved with networking events as well as also social events as I would like to build upon both my business connections and also my social connections, if possible.

I would also like to start up a book club/writing workshop to encourage others to talk about their favourite books/authors and also to take up an interest in writing. I want to do this in Stoke-on-Trent; the issue is finding a venue to do it.
