UTTERMEDIA

It's not so much staying alive, it's staying human that's important. To the past, or to the future. To an age when thought is free.

So after almost 7 years of gradually hand-crafting a unique and vibrant portfolio, I’ve finally reached a peak of confidence; enough to finally give my freelance brand that push it deserves. Utter Media, which began as Utter Photography in 2004, has catalogued me a fine selection of photoshoots and design projects. Indoors, outdoors, home, abroad, hot, cold, paid, pro-bono, each individual assignment has been a pleasure and a challenge, and so far, never a disaster. Last week I submitted Utter Media Limited to the government register for incorporation. This week I gained my first two permanent clients. Next week I’ll have my company account up and running. So far, everything has been invoiced as a personal endeavor. From now on, it’s account books and contracts. Not a whole lot will change, but the sheer excitement and motivation taken from the last two weeks has given me that final push that I need to start taking this whole thing a lot more seriously and to start laying some serious work down on the table. I’ve met some brilliant people through various ventures, and am lucky to be surrounded by truly gifted creative types who are embarking on their own fruitful careers in design, photo, music, fashion and marketing. And years from now, we’ll all meet up in some wanky bar somewhere and laugh at our first designs, photos, songs, and projects. Here’s to that day.
