2. Hayden Pederson
Hayden Pederson is a 23year old Australian film maker/photographer, he
went viral on YouTube and since then has in spired thousands of people,
when I first started photography I watched a lot of his videos to see how he
works and how he gets models and what he does, he also has a lot of fun
while doing it with his friends which inspired me to put my self out there
and start showing my work. It was after watching his video ‘ super wild
nightclub photography ‘ that I waned to start doing night life photography
and since then almost every weekend iv been booked in clubs around
Yorkshire and my skills have improved a lot. This video hit me the most
because everyone in it was having fun and it looked supercool.
I think his videos inspired me a lot because they are so creative and I enjoy
watching and also trying these kind of things for my self.
His video ‘my photography nightmare” also is very inspiring and it taught
me a few things, he explains about how he double booked him self for two
events and now every time I get a booking I make sure im not already
booked. this video he made helped me a lot.
He started off freelancing for clubs doing shoots of photos and videos
through a company called ‘ flash ‘ , he then went on to make his own
business and started getting his own name out there and this helped me a
lot as I have done the same thing. Him telling his story inspired me because
I could relate quite a lot to it so I ended up using my own name after
working with licklist and now I have clubs and models messaging me at 19, I
still watch all of his videos for new fresh ideas and he still inspires me to be
the best I can.

3. licklist
Licklist is a social marketplace for nightlife and music festivals. Connecting a
directory of over 6,000 nightclubs and bars with a community of over
500,000 party goers. Lick list was made April 2010
And in the last 10 years has become very successful.
I joined licklist in November 2019, licklist has been a major part of my career
in photography and has inspired me so much by meeting other
photographers and seeing other peoples work and also seeing my own get
recognized and applauded.
By joining licklist this opened up a whole lot of doors for me, it helped me
get more gigs and places to shot easily and conect with a whole wide of
other photographers that have helped me with the bumpy roads to get to
where I am now!

4. Peter McKinnon
Peter is a 34year old Canadian film maker and
photographer , hes a well known and perhaps a super star
within the videography and photography industry due to
his amazing YouTube channel and art work f videos.
I first started watching him to see what gear he uses and
things and hes grew on my style a lot, I love his b role
sequences which has inspired my idea a lot for my fmp, he
does a lot of cinematic footage that smoothly transitions
with crazy edits. Hes a very good motivational speaker in
his videos and makes videos that suit what hes saying a lot
and sends a huge message, I want to try incorporate this
within my fmp and I want to be able to tell a story and
message within my video. Hes done a lot of videos trying to
help other photographers better them selfs skill wise and
good tips and tricks like how to start earning money and
expose your self in the right way, all in which helped me a
lot on my journey to where I am today .

5. My loved ones
One of my biggest inspirations is my family and friends, alsways supporting my photography
career, loosing my best friend was one of the hardest things I have ever been through and
photography helped me out a lot through this, I soon came to realize a photograph is not just
a photograph but it is a memory you can always go back and look at, this is one of my most
important things about photography, I want to be able to capture the best moments in life
and photography I feel is the way to do so.
My family and friends have both supported me and helped me a lot on my journey and i
would like to better my career by exploring videography as well, my music video went quite
will but there was huge room for improvement and I am hoping this video will turn out a lot
better then that, my video received major good feed back from a lot of people and I hope my
club video will to.

6. Promo videos
I see a lot of club promotinal videos on facebook
and Instagram along with festival videos too. Every
time I see a type of promo video like this I rally
want to try do one as they look amazing and I feel
id be able to come up with a really good and
creative one that stands out to the public. As you
can see YouTube has thousands of these types of
videos all quite simular, in mine I want to send a
clear story to the video, this should make the video
have more meaning and will be more relatable to
my audience.
