Here is the link to my 'Flickr' photostream:

I've included a few but varied set of photos of some work that I have done since graduating.
My aim, using the selection of images, was to try and demonstrate a spread of different work experience that I have in the performing arts industry.
The Importance of Images
Images today, play an important part in relation to our industry. As performers we often use a headshot, perhaps along with a portfolio of images to compliment our CV for use as a reference to you and the casting director/employer. It is common knowledge that looks play a key part in the casting process.
More often then not, the method of applying for jobs/online casting is becoming evermore popular. It is now very common to apply for jobs and be cast through online websites. This is one of the reasons why the use of online image banks through social media and online casting agencies has become more popular in our industry. The use of images is a good way to provide evidence to what is written on your CV and to be able to demonstrate a little more of your own character and personality to whoever views them.
Posting images and other media, to social media websites also enables us to engage rapidly to millions of people in different networks in comparison to the inefficiency and difficulty of trying to do so sending hard copies and engaging to people in person.
Publishing photos online can be a great way of promoting yourself as a professional, however there are also lots of implications to consider. (Please see my other post on ethical considerations using web 2.0. (Task 1b) for more information).
