Database of creative professionals in 1st year

Who I'll need in my 1st year



Photographer

I will initially look for a freelance photographer (particularly a student) who is looking for experience but also charges a low rate, as I won't have much money at that moment in time. This will then lead to more professional and experienced photographers when I have saved more money. A professional photographer in Brighton named David Myers has built a known business here

This online accountancy manages your book keeping, tax returns and other financial issues of business. I would need this as I am not a very organised person sow ill need to learn from a professional before possibly going independently. This will give me more free time to focus on auditions and performing rather than worrying about keeping all my receipts etc.
