On May 14th and 15th, the Victoria Film Festival is hosting it’s first “ultimate communal karaoke fundraising event”, at the Vic Theatre (808 Douglas Street) called “SingCinema“!
I will be taking part as one of the Volunteer Photographers on Friday, May 14th, which is the “GREASEmania” night! Saturday, May 15th, is Wizard of Oz night! You are encouraged to dress up for both or either nights, and there will be prizes for best costume! Tickets are $20 for each night and can be purchased at the VFF office (1215 Blanshard Street), see their website for more information!
(Quite fitting I think that I am covering the GREASEmania night, considering the Walk to Cure Diabetes’ theme is Grease this year! I am still collecting donations for that event)
Cheers,
Natalie
Well the last couple weeks have been pretty hectic in life in general, what with my planned VFF volunteering, my full-time job, moving and the Liam Biggs music video.
While I was so excited to volunteer with the VFF Photo Team again this year, I fell ill with the cold just days after it started! What started off as a planned 13hours of photography coverage, ended up only being 4 1/2 hours!
I covered the Pre-Fest Bash and the Opening Gala the first weekend of the festival and have added those images to the site under the “Events” section of the website.
As well, I have added photographs to the “Behind the Scenes” section from the Liam Biggs music video. It was a pretty interesting set to be on and I can’t wait to see the final product! Enjoy!

I am currently undergoing the long process of re-designing my website.
The first step? Figuring out what I want and where to find it. It’s the worst part of the process and I’m stuck! If anyone knows an affordable web-designer who can assist me in making a new layout that is user-friendly and easy to update, please send them my way!

For a limited time I am offering free band photography kit!
You get a photo shoot, a show photography and a CD of the images for website/facebook/myspace use…all for free! I’m only offering this for bookings made in February. The shoot and show can take place as late as April for this offer, but you have to confirm a spot with me for the photo shoot/show before February 28th!

This week I signed up for a Studio Lighting course through Luz Gallery in Victoria, BC. I can’t be more excited than I am! I have always worked with natural lighting outdoors and only moved into the studio when there’s been no choice. The whole reason being..natural light is easy to use, you can’t fiddle with it..you have to find a way to make it work for you. Studio lighting is changeable and takes experience/skill to use. I’m looking forward to building that experience/skill and start taking advantage of Studio space more often.
As well, this weekend I am buying a Holga 120N camera from Camera Traders and will be taking it out this weekend to experiment with. I look forward to processing the film and seeing the results! I will of course add any image worth showing off to the site.
That’s about all there is from me at the moment. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
Cheers,
Natalie
