ARD6504 – Creative Futures 3 Outside Client Work – Health & Wellbeing Massage Therapy Opening

When I got asked to photograph the opening of the “Health & Wellbeing Massage Therapy”, I was honoured but slightly nervous as it was the first time I had been asked to photograph such an event. 

Heulwen Williams trained as a massage therapist to help others, after suffering from neck, shoulder and back pain, Heulwen discovered massage therapy was the most successful pain relief.  In 2012 Heulwen opened Health & Wellbeing Massage Therapy, which provides a variety of different massage techniques to help reduce and manage pain and stress.

The opening actually gave me an opportunity I wasn’t expecting, as the guest to opening the facility was Councillor Bob Thompson.  Councillor Thompson actually approached me and asked with Heulwen’s permission if he could also have copies of any photographs that included him, so that he could use them in his publicity of showing his involvement in the local community.

I enjoyed this event as it enabled me to get a few contacts whilst also getting my name out into the local community.  I also enjoyed the challenge of photographing a business event and ensuring my photographs had a business brochure/website look to them.  Heulwen is looking to update her website with my photographs in due course.
