After a simple email to a company running an Indiegogo (crowd funder) campaign, I managed to get my first piece of paid work abroad!

To rewind, I emailed back and forth with the founder of a breakfast drinks start-up company and after sending me some production-model drinks and liking the photos I came up with, I am now on a monthly retainer with the company where I will be sent a box of drinks each month with the task of photographing them in a lifestyle manner.

Next week, the company is taking me to Berlin to film an interview with one of the contributors of the campaign who preordered a lifetime supply of the product for £5000!
