Using a street as a background for images/videos

Using art students as models?

Website:

- Already started - really good - going to continue the style through all social media

- Have it as an established website - articles, have pictures relevant to the articles

Social media accounts:

- Instagram and Facebook - link the accounts for the ratio so it’s the same - talk to Simon on this

- Snapchat - behind the scenes, unscripted for behind the scenes, fun and bouncy

- Facebook- logo for the profile picture, banner either a video or picture

Danny will talk to UCA Rochester photography students - possibly using fashion pictures from students at UCA

Back drop needed - preferably pink

Rochester high street for photos?
