As an Event Photographer for the Kingston Association of Museums, Art Galleries, and Historic Sites, I was specifically in charge of photographing the monthly Bring Your Thing Pop-Up Museum events for 2017.
Bring Your Thing was a monthly Pop-Up Museum setup at various locations in the Kingston area during 2017. Free and open to the public, people could bring in personal objects related to the monthly theme to display along with objects brought in by KAM member institutions.
Working for KAM at these monthly events was of great value and interest to me. It proved to me that my artistic skills could be of use and be coupled with my interest in information studies.
As Event Photographer I:
- Documented Bring Your Thing Events by photographing objects, participants, volunteers, speakers, and visitors, which resulted in images used on association social media platforms
- Organized and edited select images for KAM's Instagram account that were consistently amongst the account's most liked posts and increased public participation at subsequent events
- Communicated with KAM members, volunteers, and event participants to ensure consent and photograph release forms were filled out, resulting in a more relaxed environment
