Photography by Sayuri Standing
About Sayuri Who is Sayuri? A freelance writer and photographer specialising in music, art and fashion. Also, a part-time digital marketer, former magazine editor, Japanese Essex girl, coffee addict and techno enthusiast. Are you qualified? I have a First Class Honours in Fashion Communication and Promotion from Nottingham Trent University. My photography skills however, were built vocationally, having worked in a studio before enrolling into uni. What’s your experience? Shooting model portfolios in a local studio was my entrance into photography. Editing a magazine since then allowed me to snap plenty of events from music festivals to fashion runway shows. So far, I have been photographing for three years. Why should I hire you? *Colour - The world isn’t black and white (but sometimes it looks better that way). I always strive to produce vibrant, high-contrast images with a soft edge. *Portraiture - Whether that’s the audience or performer, I focus on people and capturing them at their most candid and flattering best. *Post-production - I never batch edit. Each image is individually treated and I’m not shy with the airbrush either. *Multi-tasker - I’m also a writer and keen graphic designer - just look at this sweet portfolio!
