When starting my placement, i was tasked with creating moodboards for OSO and other brands that Grace works with for their social media pages.
This gave me chance to explore each brand and get a feel for the companies and people I would be working with over the next coming months.
Grace gave me some inspo for the types of moodboards and layouts she wanted me to create, and so I got to work...
These moodboards and other content posts created by me, have been featured on each brands Instagram pages.
I also created different content posts for OSO’s Instagram page to attract new followers and creatives.
These moodboards were created for a bridal shoot at OSO Content Studio for Boutique Birdes of Crosby, as well as the Say It With bridal collection.
The theme was rustic, Italian, old-money wedding. I really enjoyed making these as I had full creative control and loved how the vision came to life!
My first day at OSO was a photoshoot for the launch of The SKO Collection lashes. I arrived at 8am to help set up and take behind the scenes of the models getting prepared to start shooting at 10am. I captured content of the models in hair and makeup, shooting from behind and infront of their stations to get the different angles. When the shoot began, I shot different clips of the process- the photographer, models, and creative director. On this shoot, I got to work alongside content creator @insidethelens__ so it was nice to get inspiration from Georgia and see what type of content she is trying to execute and how she creates her own videos. It was also very exciting and at the same time intimidating to be working with talent like Miss Supranational UK, Brittany Feeney. As all first days are very daunting, and I was quite nervous first going in, I found comfort in knowing it was also Sophie’s (The SKO Collection) first day being at the studio and this type of professional environment. However, being in this environment for the first time and being around like- minded people made me enjoy it even more and it was easy to get comfortable quickly. The models shot in two different looks each for website and socials, for one look they were all in the same white shirt and blue jeans, and the second a more dressed up, classy look- as seen in the image in the middle. Aswell as some images involving Sophie of her doing makeup- as seen in the image on the right. The shoot finished around 12pm and I carried on working at home, creating content and reels for SKO, and GAS Management, which can be seen on my Instagram page @ellenm_creative.
My second day at OSO was a shoot for the launch of activewear brand FIA Yoga.
I again arrived at 8am and began straight away to capture behind the scenes content of the models in hair and makeup. This process took alot longer than usual as lots of the models were children, some were not happy with their hair and makeup, or accidently messed it up meaning that it had to be redone, and some just got distracted or bored easily and were eager to leap out of the makeup station!
The shoot began at 10am and I took BTS of the process, shooting from different aangles and different points around the room. Each model shot in one gym set each for website, photographer Andrew Lee shot front, back, side and detail shots of the logo.
The three older models shot in two gym sets each and they were involved in the more social, lifestyle shots- as seen on Saffie in the image to the left and below.
I was alot more confident coming in a second time, feeling more comfortable and more like I was supposed to be there and I really enjoyed it. I also felt I made a friend in one of the models, Connie. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel more comfortable. I have since seen Connie multiple times since this shoot at events, and stayed connected with her on social media.
The shoot wrapped up around 1pm and I continued my work at home creating content for FIA Yoga and GAS Management. These videos can be seen on my own Instagram, aswell as @grace_adams_short and @fia_yoga.
This wedding shoot for Boutique Brides has been one of my favourites so far! Seeing the studio set up in such a different way to fit the shoot was so exciting and to be apart of it was really enjoyable. This shoot was also to showcase Say It With bridal jewellery collection, so it was also exciting to work with the movers and shakers from SIW.
I was given alot more creative freedom on this shoot to create content that I wanted and felt alot more comfortable being the creative director for my own content and having the models bring my own visions to life. I arrived at 9am whilst the models were in hair and makeup and I took bts of the process. The shoot began at 10am, each model wore one dress each and the photographer shot both the dresses and the jewellery. The shoot finished around 12pm and I stayed behind to help Grace set up for the next days shoot, we hung up all the clothes and set out the shoes sent by the stylist and put the studio back to normal ready for the morning.
I left at 1pm and created some reels from todays shoot on PremierPro. These videos can be seen on my own and Grace’s social media, however, not all can be posted due to shooting an unreleased wedding dress!
1st September 2025
OSO Content Studio Boutique Brides Say It With
On 2nd September, I had the exciting opportunity to work on a photshoot with Heat Magazine! Stylist, Creative Directors, and Interviewers from Heat were at OSO Studio. There were multiple outfit changes for Grace and her husband Mikey, aswell as their four children. Heat styled Grace in a yellow vest, recreating her 2006 cover image on the magazine. I gained a huge insight into the process of a shoot for a magazine and what goes into it. although there were stylists and creative directors at the studio, they still had to refer back to their seniors, awaiting approval before continuing on with the shoot. After being told their outfits were too dark, there was another outfit change from browns to more neutral, beige tones which were perfect for the shoot and set up of the studio to fit the brief.
I arrived at 10am, alongside content creator @insidethelens__, capturing behind the scenes content of the day. I took content of Grace in hair and makeup, and when the shoot began at 11am, I captured bts of the shoot. Due to this not being an in house shoot where Grace would usually be in control, myself and Georgia didn’t intervene as much. We stayed out of the way of the creative director and just captured content from arounf the room, ensuring we werent distracting.
We wrapped up around 2pm and I continued creating content from the day at home. Videos created from this shoot are unable to be posted on any socials until the release of the article in Heat Magazine.
Overall, I really enjoyed the day, being able to work with creatives outside of OSO, especially being from a popular UK Magazine. It was also exciting to be working alongside Grace’s family and getting to know them more. I have seen Grace’s eldest daughter Georgiana multiple times since first meeting on this shoot and feel I have also grown a good connection with her and that we are comfortable around eachother to work well together.
Today we were shooting for the launch of the new womens activewear brand, Alpha Female. I really enjoyed working on this shoot and with the owners of the brand. The story behind Alpha Female is so empowering and positive for women, and embracing being an alpha female! Also being around more familiar faces like the model Chloe was really enjoyable and makes it easier to settle, we got to talk alot
more and get to know each other better. I arrived at the studio at 9am to help Grace and Andy set up the studio and prepare the lighting whilst the models were in hair and makeup. I captured behind the scenes content throughout the day for of the photoshoot process and creative director Grace, styling the models and showing them different poses for her own brand GAS Management, and her social media.
We captured e-commerce shots aswell as lifestyle shots for Alpha Female socials using props like weights, gym mats, and even creating different sets by using the couch. Models Chloe and Kayleigh-Lily, shot in each gym set, blue, pink, grey and black, in both the leggings and shorts sets, aswell as the AF hoodies, socks and using their bag. The shoot wrapped up around 12pm and I stayed at the studio to
to continue some uni work and creating some content from the morning, ready for the next shoot at 4pm. I have really enjoyed my internship at OSO so far. I feel as though I have created lots of connections with the talent I am working with such as the brands, photographer, models, hair and makeup artists etc. I think thsi will really benefit me in my future and through the rest of my fcm course.
Fast forward to 4pm... We had a super exciting, yet scary guest at the studio today! On the lead up to halloween, Grace had the idea to use a tarantula in a shoot to promote The SKO Collection ‘FIERCE’ Lash. As it was quite a last minute plan, and too short notice to find a model accepting of having a spider scrawl across their face, Grace modelled for the brands and had the spider crawl across her face for a video, aswell as down her back to shoot some halloween content for Say It With. The spider was brought and handled by @tmreptiles2020 and we only had one hour to get the best shots. I captured behind the scenes from the shoot and created content for SKO and GAS Management as well as a seperate day in the life video for Grace and her social media. I also got the opportunity to hold the spider after the shoot!I left around 6pm and created content at home using PremierPro. These videos can be seen on my own, Grace, and the SKO Instagram accounts. I really enjoyed today and feel very lucky to be given these opportunities to be working on exciting shoots like these. It has been really fun and interesting to be a part of and experience.
I arrived at the studio at 9am. Firstly, I assisted Grace and Andy setting up the studio space and changing the backdrop from white to blue and set up the lights ready to begin. I then captured some behind the scenes of Molly in hair and makeup, shooting from different angles to capture different persepctives. The snake arrived at 10am and we got ready to begin. I shot behind the scenes of Grace directing the shoot as well as the photoshoot itself. I created multiple different content videos such as a day in the life at OSO, GAS Management, Say It With and The SKO Collection.
Today we shot something even crazier than the tarantula... Instead we had a python! This shoot was for Say It With jewellery, in honour of the MTV Awards coming up, the shoot was inspired by the Brittany Spears ‘Slave For You’ music video. On this shoot I got to work with social media influencer Molly Krenz. I was quite intimidated knowing she was going to be there when I came in as I feel like you never know what to expect in regards to the personalities of such influencers. However, Molly was really nice and easy to get along with, and is very supportive of my work and has been commenting on my Instagram posts.
These videos can be seen on my own and each brands Instagram accounts. One of my videos created was also featured on the Say It With Instagram Story. We then moved on to shoot Molly in a seperate look, also for Say It With jewellery and The SKO Collection lashes. Molly had an outfit change aswell as hair and we moved to a different location in the studio for these shots- images from this shoot can be seen below I had so much fun on todays shoot, it was really exciting working with Molly and the snake.
SVANTE
Today we shot with sustainable childrenswear brand SVANTE Natural Movement.
I arrived at 9am to help set up the studio and capture some behind the scenes and social content with some of the models, whilst we waited for some to arrive, before the shoot began.
In total there were 7 child models on the shoot today, all ariving at different times, from 9am to 2pm. This made it one of the most hectic and difficult days at OSO, ensuring we were able to shoot everything we needed.
We began the shoot at 10am. With the models that were at the studio on time, we shot each of them in multiple different outfits, capturing ecommerce as well as more lifestyle images for social media.
I took behind the scenes content throughout the day, creating reels for SVANTE and GAS Management, showing Grace as the creative director on the shoot.
I enjoyed the day but I definitely found it alot more stressful with there being lots of children aswell as them arriving at different times, but I feel like it taught me what to expect in the future and has prepared me for any days like this again.
FIA
Y O G A
Today at OSO we had social media influencer Erin Doran shooting in FIA Yoga to announce her becoming a FIA brand ambassador.
I arrived at 9am to shoot some seperate content for Say It With and KK Designs. I got some flat lay shots of the jewellery and accessories.
Erin arrived at 10am and I took some content of her in hair and makeup. We began shooting at 11am. Erin modelled in 5 different gym sets- blue, brown, beige, black and burgundy. Andy took eccommerce shots for the FIA Website and some more lifestyle shots for social media. For these shots we included props like a suitcase, headphones and a sofa. Using the sofa, I took content for reels for OSO Studio, such as creating ‘the shoot vs the shot’ and a day in the life at OSO.
I also got content for a behind the scenes for FIA and GAS Management, showcasing the creative director Grace.
With there only being one model in today, it was alot easier and quicker to get lots of content and images for FIA. The day was smooth-sailing, and we wrapped up around 12pm, where I continued my work at home, creating content for each brand.
Today I had the exciting opportunity to attend the FIA Yoga Wellness and Retreat Day for their launch.
I arrived at 10am to help FIA owner Kayleigh set up, we hung the clothes on rails, organised gift bags and set out a table of fruit and pastries. I also helped set up the pop-up stall for The SKO Collection lashes, available for guests to buy below retail price.
Guests began to arrive at 11am, they had time to socialise and have a snack, ready for the yoga class to begin at 12pm. I captured lots of content, videos of the rails, snacks and guests at the event. I then headed into the next room to take part in a yoga class, instructed by @yoga.bykatie, while occasionaly capturing content of the session. I stood in different spots around the room to capture differet perspectives and yoga poses. When the session finished, I headed back into the main room were I took more content of everybody, and some guests even taking on the challenge of the cold plunge. I made sure to get some clips for The SKO Collection stall aswell, shooting from behind and in front of the table to get different details.
There were lots of other influencers and business owners at the event, which created more contacts for myself, and job opportunities for the future.
The event finished at 2pm and I left to continue my work at home. From todays event, I created reels for FIA Yoga, Yoga by Katie, and The SKO Collection.
WHAT WOULD I DO?
When leading up to and on the day of the FIA Yoga Wellness and Retreat Day, I feel like there werent enough marketing and promotion done for the event.
There werent enough advertising done to promote the event, I didnt see a much on the FIA Yoga Instagram building excitement, or small reminders.
I created this invite that could be posted to Instagram, sent individually or printed to be advertised around Liverpool. It can be posted multiple times on social media stories and feeds and even up in local shops and cafes known to the FIA owner.
Due to the event being a small unit in a large industrial estate, directional information could have been improved, and more could have been done to make sure guests knew where they were going.
Today was my first location shoot since working at OSO. I got to work with social media influencer and FashionNova brand ambassador, Hannah Olivia Kenyon. Again, Hannah was lovely to work with and my list of connections grows further. I arrived at the studio at 9am to help Andy and Grace prepare for the shoot ahead, whilst Hannah was getting her hair and makeup done.
Utilising the studio space, Hannah shot in 5 different looks, modelling clothing for Glamify and Say It With new jewellery collection. I captured some behind the scenes content for each brand alongside Georgia (inside the lens) and Isabelle, SIW content creator. We wrapped up around 12pm and
then headed to Sefton Park. Here, Andy shot some videos for SIW and Glamify and we took behind the scenes shots. Our brief for today was to show the collaboration between Say It With, Glamify, and OSO Content Studio, introducing autumn to our social media and our wardrobe. Hannah shot in 3 different looks on this shoot as it was mainly to capture content for the jewellery. I really enjoyed this shoot as it was nice to experience the process outside of the studio. We finished this shoot around 2pm and headed back to the studio. From there I went home were I continued working to create some content reels for Glamify, Say It With, and GAS Management. These videos can be seen on my own and Graces Instagram.
WHAT WOULD I DO?
After being on the Glamify shoot and experiencing my first location shoot at OSO, I started to look into what I would do on my own shoot to fit the brief of welcoming Autumn in with Glamify Fashion.
For location, I chose The Hollies Farm Shop. It is popular, on trend, and fits the theme well.
For fashion and styling, I chose some outfits from Glamify that I think people my own age would look to buy, for a casual day like going to Hollies Farm Shop, or a more dressed up look.
I have also added some poses and shots that I would chose and have the model do.
Today I got the honour to attend a very special event for The Azaylia Foundation fundraiser for childhood cancer.
I arrived at the Box Park at 7am to help set up the pop up stalls for FIA Yoga, The SKO Collection and Girlfirend Collective.
The event began at 9am, starting with a hot hits gym session, pilates, and a sound bath, yoga session to cool down, finishing at 11am.
Guests then had a chance to shop and look around at all of the stalls and new small businesses, followed by a very moving and inspirational talk with the co-founder of The Azaylia Foundation, Safiyya Vorajee. I captured lots of content from the day creating reels for FIA Yoga, The SKO Collection, and GF Collective, aswell as a video from the event as a whole, which can be found on my Instagram @ellenm_creative.
The stalls finished at 12pm, moving on to the next part of the event, making room to set tables back up for people to eat and carry on the rest of the day. I left at around 12:30pm after helping take down the stalls, I then continued my work at home creating reels for each brand which can also be found on their social media platforms.
I feel very lucky that I am able to attend events like these and be a part of this side of the industry, I feel like I am learning alot just by being there and seeing what goes into holding these events.
Today at OSO we were shooting the newest FIA Yoga drop. Modelling the new collection is popular ‘kidfluencers’, TikToker Ruby Alexis and Amara Rose Ali, face of Glamify kids, and Georgiana, Grace’s daughter. I arrived at the studio at 9am to assist andy setting up the lights and preparing the gym sets ready for the girls to wear by taking all the tags off and ensuring they had each full set and shoes ready to quickly change into after each shot.
The shoot began at 10am and each girl modelled the blue, black, brown and grey set each. The girls done individual and group shots and were given some fun dance moves as poses. We made sure to get website shots of the back, front, side and details of the clothing and then went on to more social shots like the action shots. I took behind the scenes of the shoot as a whole and of Grace as the creative director. I also captured some social content like flat lays for the FIA Instagram account.
The shoot finished at 12pm and I then stayed to help Grace clean up the studio and get it back to normal ready for a photoshoot later on in the day.
Grace and I then had a meeting to discuss our upcoming schedule and shoot days, as well as brainstorming some content ideas for the OSO Instagram and Tiktok account, as well as the brands Grace manages. The TikTok account
@osocontent.studio is managed by myself, I create and post all
videos seen on the account. I really enjoyed todays shoot and being able to have that meeting with Grace as we were both able to talk more freely about our ideas and she was able to gain more of an insight into my creative side and what ideas I come up with on my own.
I left at 2pm and continued my work at home creating reels for FIA Yoga and GAS Management. These videos can be seen on my own and each brands Instagram account.
Today we welcomed a collaboration between two content companies Sociere Socials and OSO Content Studio.
My brief for the day was to show OSO and our in house team hosting a brand event. This event was a chance for different brand ownders to start elevating their social media and grow their brand. They had a chance to get some headshots and lifestyle shots by our professional photgrapher and creative director. This was also a chance for them to utilise the studio space and create as much content as possible throughout the day. They created some group content like collabs, and were able to use the podcast space for some interviews and testimonials. There were also some group shots taken.
I arrived at 11am to capture content throughout the day. I was specifically focused on capturing our creative director Grace, and photographer Andy, and how both studios can be used. This is to show what we have to offer at OSO and what we can do for small or new business to help grow their brand.
The photoshoots finished at 1pm and I stayed till 2pm to capture some last little bits of content. Sociere had the studio booked until 4pm so their clients had enough time to create their own content like some reels and TikToks. I continued my work at home creating content for OSO from the day. The video can be found on my Instagram and TikTok account aswell as Grace’s social media.
I really enjoyed this event at OSO as it gave me a chance to meet lots of other brands and work with another content company. I was able to learn from them and see how they create content and what they are doing for their business.
Today I attended an exciting event, Scouse Girl Social!
I arrived at 9am to help set up pop up stalls for FIA Yoga, The SKO Collection and GF Collective (brands managed by GAS Management).
From there, Grace was aksed to teach the models how to walk on the runway, showing them different poses they can do and maintaining a strong walk. I captured behind the scenes content of this to put into a reel at the end of the day.
The event began at 11am and guests arrived quickly. The day started with a DJ and panel speakers, guests had the chance to shop around all the different stalls, grab a bite to eat, and listen to each of the speakers. There were lots of influencers at the event such as Lucy Quinn, Lacey M, and Alice Lambert-Brown.
There were also multiple shows for FIA Yoga, RARE Fashion College, and Fairytale Endings prom dresses. I captured content of the FIA runway to create a reel for their brands.
Throughout the day, I captured content for GAS Management, FIA Yoga, The SKO Collection, GF Collective, and of the event as a whole. I was also asked by RARE dancer Emily Rowan to capture some content for her whilst she taught a dance class at the event. Content created by myself from the day can be found on mine and each brands Instgram accounts. A reel I created from a previous FIA shoot was also feautured on the big screen at the event during the fashion show.
The event finished at 5pm and I helped pack away our stalls. I then continued my work at home editing and creating content from the day for each brand to post to their ow social media accounts.
I really enjoyed attending Scouse Girl Social today. I am excited that I am given opportunities like these and a chance to meet these influencers and showcase my work.
Today at OSO, we shot for a collab with The SKO Collection and Reverie Label. Modelling the clothes and ‘NOVA’ lash was Libby Gaynor, the second place winner of Miss Swimsuit British Isles 2025! I arrived at the studio at 9am to capture content of Libby in hair and makeup and get some closeups of the lashes. The shoot began at 10am and I captured content of the shoot. Libby modelled in three outfits, a burgundy co ord with a burgundy feather boa, the same outfit in brown, and a beige blazer and shorts co ord. Then arrived Ellie Atkinson at 11am, a freelance model and content creator. I dipped in and out between rooms to capture content of Ellie in makeup whilst Libby was shooting. Ellie modelled the same three outfits with a different lash and makeup look from The SKO Collection. For this shoot, I created content for The SKO Collection, Reverie Label and GAS Management. I shot from lots of different spots around the room to get different perspecives of the shoot. I used effects like zooming in and out to add a little something extra to the videos.
Whilst Ellie was getting somefinal shots, I went to studio 2 with Libby to capture some content of my own. I really enjoyed being able to do this because it gave me a chance to bring my own ideas to life and get some new content, instead of getting the same content every day.
The shoot wrapped up around 1pm and we took some videos of Sophie taking Libbys makeup off to create some different content for her page. We wrapped up around 1pm and Sophie and I stayed to take some content of the lashes alone to keep her page fresh, we created transitions of each lash and a type of ‘get to know’ video showcasing each pair of lashes. I really enjoyed todays shoot as I feel like I had alot more creative freedom and was able to share my ideas and Grace had an opportunity to see what I can do on my own rather than the content she knows I can already do, or what she has told me to do. I also really love working with Sophie, the owner of The SKO Collection. She is very easy to talk to and get along with, and fun and easy to work with. We can still have fun as well as being professional in this type of enviroment. I feel like this shoot really grew my connections further, such as models like Libby and brands like Reverie Label. I left the studio at 2pm and continued my work from home creating content for each brand. Videos from this shoot can be found on my own and each companies social media. From content created on this shoot by me, my social media and videos have been noticed by other brands such as Bell Wether Management and menswear brand Moda Bandidos, a brand who have now asked me to create content for them.
Today I got to go to The Hollies Farm Shop for a content day with FIA Yoga with their brand ambassadors and social media ‘kidfluencers’ Ruby Alexis, Amara Rose Ali, Taylor (Pilatays) and Hattie Beu.
We met at OSO Studio at 11am where we were greeted with a luxury chauffeur service from @cj_platinum_travel. We set off about 11:20am to arrive at Hollies for 12pm. Whilst in the car I captured some some content of the girls and of the car itself for their page.
We got straight to work when we arrived and started by taking some pictures and videos of the girls outside the front entrance. They took some individual and group pictures modelling the FIA Yoga activewear. We then moved the the pumpkin patch to take some aesthetic autumn/halloween content. I took lots of images and videos of the girls for my own, FIA, and the girls social media.
We had a look around the store and moved around to the back of the shop were there was another setting to get some content. There was also alot more room for them to get the content they wanted like creating some TikToks. Whilst we were at the back of the shop and taking some pictures of the girls, the staff actually asked us to stop as we were taking it ‘too far’ and ‘getting in the way’. We ended our content day from there and headed to the cafe to get some food before we left.
We left about 2:30pm getting back to the studio for around 3pm. After the girls were picked up, I stayed at the studio to continue with my work and prepare for a shoot later in the day.
I had so much fun on this content day and getting asked to go on a brand trip was really exciting. I feel like I have grown a really good relationship with FIA brand owner Kayleigh and I am very comfortable to go on these trips with her, without Grace, knowing I will be well looked after and will have a really good time.
I created 4 videos from this day- one for FIA Yoga, one for CJ Platinum Travel, a feature video for Ruby Alexis, as well as a day in the live for myself. Videos from the day can be found on my Instagram and TikTok account.
After such a fun day at The Hollies Farm Shop, we had the brand Moda Bandidos shooting their newest collection at OSO Studio. They booked the studio from 4pm till 8pm and came with their own photgrapher, models, content creator and creative director David. As Grace weren’t at the studio today, I welcomed our guests and helped them set up the studio ready for their shoot. Grace asked me to oversee their time at the studio, making sure they had everything and was there to assist when needed. I took some behind the scenes content of the shoot for the brand and for OSO, showing what we can offer for independent brands. As they were using both studios for there photoshoot, I made sure that all the lights were working properly and set to how they wanted, making sure that it was clean and ready for a professional company. I dipped in and out between rooms making sure everything was going smoothly and capturing some content, as well as getting on with my own work and editing content from the previous shoot. Around 6pm another two models arrived. These models were two young boys, ages 7 and 4. They were alot harder to keep control of as they did not want to have their picture taken. It took a while to get them to stand still to get some images, which is expected given their age and the evironment they’re in. I captured some content of the boys modelling and some behind the scenes of them messing around, as all young boys do. Due to this, the shoot ran over about 15-20 minutes. Once they left I cleaned up each studio and set everything back to normal, I locked up and headed home around 8:45pm. I was really happy that Grace trusted me to be at the studio alone and trusted me with the responsibility of supervising a shoot. This reassures me of my own abilities and that Grace also knows what I am capable of. Content created for this shoot can be found on my Instagram and TikTok account, as well as Bandidos Instagram.
On Friday 24th October, I got to attend the Georga Portogallo Limited Creators Event at No Filter Studios.
I attended the event with The SKO Collection, which gave Sophie a chance to grow her brand following and recognition. This was also the perfect opportunity for me to do the same and get my name out. The event was full of content creators from all over the UK, such as Charleigh Paige Tart, Lydia Peverell, Claire L Creative, and lots of micro-influencers just starting off their pages with ambitions of 50k followers on Instagram and TikTok. This event was also a great opportunity to learn from these creators, we gained some great tips on elevating our page and gaining more followers.
We arrived at No Filter studios at 9am to set up our stall and capture some behind the scenes content starting off the day. This was a chance for creators to capture lots of content for their social media and show off the brands at the event. There were brands there such as ISOClean, Monday Hair Care, and Daise Beauty. Due to this being an event for content creators and some already successful, well-known brands, lots of companis were gifting items to creators. With SKO being a new brand, not yet lauched, Sophie couldn’t afford to gift lashes, but was selling for below retail price. The main aim of attending the event was to have guests notice the brand and gain more followers, in which SKO gained lots more followers just from a few hours spent at the event. There were lots of influencers at the event that we had never heard of before, and some that we had. With my broad use and knowledge of social media, there were afew creators at the event such as Charleigh Paige Tart, in which I told Sophie to gift a few pairs of lashes, for her to post and review. With Charleigh’s large following and trust people have in her, I believe thaat one small comment made from her about The SKO Collection would boost the brand hugely.
I left at 2pm while Sophie stayed till the event finished at 4pm. I captured lots of content throughout the day which I have put into a reel for The SKO Collection, this video con be found on my own and the brands social media accounts.
I was mostly there to be a helping hand for Sophie and capture some content but I feel like I learned alot from a few hours at this event and had so much fun getting to meet lots of content creators and share my own name.
Today at OSO, we had a new company, Lip Fix Cosmetics. They are a brand newly managed by GAS Management. Myself and the models arrived from 10am, they were required to come with their hair and makeup already done. I started by helping set up the studio ready for the shoot, and set out some snacks and goodie bags for the models. The models on this shoot today was Libby Gaynor, Ellie Atkinson, Mia Snape and lifestyle content creator Iona Sky. Iona is most popular on Instagram and TikTok for her food reviews, where she tries lots of different food places around Liverpool. The shoot began at around 11am and I captured behind the scenes content of each model. Each model shot in two different looks- a white robe, and a black top and blue jeans. Each model shot alone first using some different props like strawberries, champagne, and the lip products. Mia arrived a little bit later than the others due to her coming from Rochdale, so while Mia got her first single shots, the other models got changed into their robes for some group and single shots in that look. I took lots of behind the scenes of the models, and Grace directing the shoot. Trying to stay out of the photographers way, Andy told me not to be afraid to come closer, or stand at different points to get some different shots, and that he knows me well enough and trusts me that I wont get in his way or interrupt in any type of way. I was actually really happy when Andy said this becuase it shows that they do trust me and see me as part of their team, and they are giving me the opportunity to get the most and the best out of the day that I can. The shoot was wrapping up around 12.30pm and Grace asked me to head outside to get some content with Mia for a reel for FIA X Lip Fix. I had full creative control on this to capture what I wanted and bring my own ideas to life with this brief of a collab between a beauty brand and an activewear brand. This further proves to me that Grace trusts me and my creative abilities and sees me as part of the team. I had so much fun on this shoot, it was easy to capture good content with the aesthetic and creativeness of the shoot. All of the models and Lip Fix brand owner Kayleigh were great to work with which I feel working with like-minded people makes it so much easier when being in this type of environment. We wrapped up at 1pm and I stayed at the studio to have a meeting with Grace to discuss our upcoming shoots and events, and I had a chance to continue on with some work for uni and OSO. I also asked Grace to teach me some more about pr and marketing and what she does behind the scenes, in which we have arranged an hour a week to learn some new tips and skills.
On Wednesday 29th October, I attended a location shoot with Gypsabella for the launch of their Noel Noir Christmas collection.
My day started at 5am as I had to get to Sophie’s (The SKO Collection) for 6:30am, so we could drive to the location- The Cut and Craft, Manchester, for an 8am start. We were setting up getting ready to start and Abbie, the owner of Gypsabella, gave me the call sheet to have a read over and learn everything I needed to know, ready for the day ahead. Abbie gave me the role of her director, with so much to do and so little time, we needed to make sure we stayed on track and got the most out of the day. I came up with a plan of 6 minutes each outfit, with a rotation of photographs, videos and a chance for the models to get some content themselves. Of course on a hectic day like this, the plan is never exactly stuck to. I then just made sure that we stayed on track and told Abbie when we needed to move on. I really liked having this role on the shoot as it was different to just capturing behind the scenes content, it was a really big responsibility to ensure that we captured everything and more in the time that we had. Since the shoot I have had great feedback from Abbie to Grace and have created this trust between us where she would have me back on more shoots.
Aswell as making sure Abbie stayed on track, I was still capturing content throughout the day- all images seen here were taken by me. I have created some reels from the shoot for Gypsabella and The SKO Collection. These videos are unable to be posted until the launch on the collection on 02.11.25.
On this shoot, I worked with models like Holly Samantha, Lucy Quinn, Chloe Ormond, Mia Morris and many more. When first going in I felt quite intimidated and quiet as it was a different type of shoot that what I am used to and there was lots of people there who I had never worked with before, but everyone was really nice and easy to work with, in which I settled alot more and felt more comfortable and confident being around them.
We wrapped up at 12pm and headed home to continue my work creating content. I really enjoyed being on this shoot because even tho it was quite scary, it was also really exciting to be working with new people. I already knew Abbie as their HQ is in the same building as OSO, but this gave me a chance to grow a better relationship with her and she had a chance to see how I work on a shoot.
Today at OSO we had a photoshoot for dance school Ballet Works. This shoot upcoming Christmas showcase. There were around 40 students here for the 10am and began by capturing some behind the scenes footage and some small photographs taken. The older students aged 13 and above, arrived around 1pm. as some shots from their photoshoot. Their dance teacher Sam was directing footage whilst Sam and Andy (photographer) were working. After their photoshoot, were scrolling through the images, I made sure to take some content @osocontentstudio and @balletworks1 Instagram accounts. This shoot wrapped sweets, then assembled and filled popcorn boxes
Works
shoot was to enhance each dancers portfolio and capture some shots for their photoshoot. We first started with the children aged 10 and below. I arrived at small interviews with some of the children on how they found having their 1pm. I captured some content of them stretching and talking together as well directing the shoot, so I tried to stay back and just take some behind the scenes photoshoot, each student got to choose their 2 favourite pictures, so whilst they content of that aswell. Reels created from this photoshoot can be found on wrapped up around 2pm and then I began to make some goodie bags filled with boxes for the next events to begin at 3pm.
Later on in the day, we had a content event for FIA Yoga and their brand ambassadors. Guests arrived at around 3pm with their parents. There was also a special guest DJ Kyle Quinn. There were 10 girls invited to the FIA event, such as Ruby Alexis, Amara Rose Ali, Hattie Beau and other child micro-influencers.
We first began with a catwalk lesson by creative director Grace Adams Short. I captured content of this to create a reel for Grace for her own brand GAS Management. For this reel, I captured shots of Grace teaching the girls how to walk on a runway and her talking them through this and giving them some tips.
The girls then had a chance to take some pictures and videos by the christmas tree with their activewear on showcasing the FIA gifts. They were also to have a small photoshoot and get some individual images of each of the girls by the FIA banner. They then moved on to making some TikToks for their own social media accounts, promoting FIA and OSO Content Studio, as well as the DJ. I captured content throughout the whole day showcasing each of the girls just doing their own thing, capturing their own content. The event ended around 6pm and I continued my work at home creating content. These videos can be found on my own and each brands social media.
Today at OSO, we had an exciting shoot for laser hair removal company, Laser Cafe. This is a brand also newly managed by Grace. The owner of Laser Cafe, Molly , is also the co-founder of content company Sociere Socials, whom I have worked with before. This was a chance for me to further my connection with Molly and get to know her more. We also had two special guests on shoot today, more snakes! This shoot was to launch their Black Friday deals with bold statements like ‘bite me’, ‘venom’ and ‘shed your old skin’, all relating to the use of the snakes, and getting laser hair removal for that new, fresh skin. Molly came with her mum, and friend Freya, who she had modelling for her, so it was nice too be able to work with them aswell. I arrived at the studio at 10am and began by helping Andy set up the lighting ready to start shooting. I then began to take some content of Freya in hair and makeup. We began shooting at 11am when the snakes arrived. We only had 1 hour with the snakes so we had to make sure we captured
everything we needed within the time. I captured content throughout the shoot of Freya with the snake, behind the scenes content, and shots of creative driector Grace. When our time was up with the snakes, Freya changed into a Laser Cafe robe and a head towel to capture some more content for the brand as a whole. We used props like a bench, an armchair, and a phone to get some images and different content that Laser Cafe can use all year round. We also got some shots by the christmas tree which can be used for the holidays to announce new open bookings. We finished shooting with Freya around 12pm and moved on to get some individual shots of Molly, such as headshots and more professional shots to use for things like business cards and website etc. Molly shot in her branded Laser Cafe scrubs and a black pantsuit and heels. For these images we used props like a breifcase, a chair, and the handpieces used for the laser procedure. We ended by getting some videos of Molly talking, and
announcing the Black Friday Launch, and open Christmas bookings, getting her used to talking on camera a lot more. We wrapped up around 1pm and I continued my work at home creating multiple content pieces for Laser Cafe. I created a BTS from the shoot as a whole, Black Friday, Christmas, a video for Molly, and a video for
GAS Management, showcasing the creative director Grace. I really enjoyed this shoot as it was exciting to have the snakes on shoot and also to be working with a new brand, and grow a closer connection to Molly, the brand owner, I know that I am going to be working closely with her over upcoming weeks so it is good to be able to further our relationship.
Today I attended a shoot for Say It With to promote their christmas crackers, available to buy now! I arrived at 10am to capture content of the model in hair and makeup. The model, Ava, I had never worked with before , we got along well and after some talk we found out we had some similar connections, which made it easier for us to conversate and feel a little bit more comfortable around each other. Ava had her makeup done by Sophie (The SKO Collection) and hair by @hairbylisaheard, who I have also never worked with before, but Lisa was also very easy to work with, and everyone is so enjoyable to be around. We began the photoshoot around 11:30am and shot on the sofa near the christmas tree, instead of the white backdrop. I shot from different points around the room to capture different scenes like the photographer, creative director,
model, etc. On todays shoot, I was inspired by similar content creator @im_jasminaa, to recreate one of their videos. When I attend these photoshoots, I usually don’t have an idea of videos I want to create, but I feel like this made it alot easier knowing what content I needed to capture and what my end result was going to be. From now on, I think I am going to continue doing this and go into it having at least some idea of what I want to acheive out of the day and what I want to create by the end. Ava shot in two pairs of pyjamas- white and champagne, and a black dress for a different look in which this was shot on the white backdrop. When we shot the third look, our aim was to create a certain video. We switched all the lights off and Andy (photographer) shone a dim light across the jewellery Ava was wearing. For this video, Andy needed me as his assistant to make
sure the camera stayed focused on the jewellery. I am happy that Andy trusted me to do this, as although I was just tapping the screen, he had no control over the camera because he was shining the light, so the fact that he had faith in me to be able to produce what he needed, urther confirms for me that they do trust me alot and don’t just see me as an intern in the background. The shoot ended around 1pm and I helped clean up the studio, set it back to normal, and hang the clothes back up. I left around 1:30pm and continued my work at home creating content. These videos can be found on my own and each brands social media.
Christmas Markets
I recently got invited to the opening night of Taskers Christmas Markets. I arrived at 6pm when the event began, to capture content for Taskers, The SKO Collection and FIA Yoga, and help out with their pop up stalls.
There were lots of familiar faces at the event, popular TikTokers such as Jerome (The scouse Ghetto Gourmet), Molly Harrison and Lewis (itsthathelim), Charleigh Paige Tartt, Kaci Lea Lynch and Lydia Mcgrath. When I have been to events before, they have been for more of a younger audience so it was exciting getting to meet the influencers that I enjoy watching.
The event lasted from 6pm to 9pm, so in that time I made sure to get as much content as possible. I shot guests at the stalls and people shopping and having a look around, and things like the reindeers and santa, and the decorations for taskers.
For most of the night I stayed around Sophie and Declan (The SKO Collection) and Kayleigh (FIA Yoga). I really enjoy spending time with the brand owners and creating a good relationship with the people I have been working closely with.
When the event ended, I helped our stalls pack up and headed home to continue my work creating reels for each brand.
Christmas Markets
Today I attended The Box Park Christmas Markets with The SKO Collection, FIA Yoga, and Laser Cafe.
I arrived at 11am when the event began to take content for each brand for their social media.
The day went quite slow and not alot of people turned up. The event weren’t promoted as well or as much as it should have been so it seemed as though people were not aware of the event until it began and they first seen it on social media.
As I tend to just focus on the brands I work with, there weren’t much content to get as there weren’t much going on. I filmed each stall and people shopping around, aswell as the event as a whole and the decorations.
I left around 3pm after helping pack up our stalls and continued my work at home creating reels for the brands.
Due to not having much content, I merged the clips into one video aswell as making seperate videos for each brand as they were only short and quite boring as there was not much in them.
Despite all of this, I still had fun and enjoyed spending time with everyone, and even just getting to go to these events.
Women in The Game of Padel.
Today I attended a location shoot at Ignite Padel, Ellesmere
Port to promote women playing padel. My day began at 9am when I travelled with Grace to arrive at the location for 10am. We started around 11am after everybody
arrived. Models on shoot today were Grace’s friends, Kelcey, Sophie and Joanne, who are familiar with the sport. FIA owner Kayleigh also came to the shoot and played, we used this as an opportunity to also promote FIA Yoga, and had each model wearing the activewear whilst playing padel. Photographer/Videographer Andy was there shooting the video for Ignite, whilst I focused on capturing content for FIA. My brief for the day was to tell the story of the day from start to finish. I shot clips of the women entering, walking to the court, taking their jackets off and playing padel, to them finishing up and heading home. I shot from on and around the court, trying to capture as much content as possible, focusing a lot on the activewear. We wrapped up at 1pm and headed home. I continued my work at home creating the reel for FIA Yoga, which can be found on @ellenm_creative and @fia_yoga.
I really enjoyed this shoot and being outside of the studio. It felt really good to be a part of creating something to empower women and create a community.
Today we had two special guests on shoot with us today... TikTok star/kidfluencer Lacey and Santa.
I arrived at the studio at 1pm to prepare for our guests to arrive at 2pm. In studio 2, I set out the Say It With jewellery on the table and hung up Lacey’s pyjamas, ready for her to wear. In studio 1, I then set up the lighting, ready for Andy to jump straight into the shoot.
Lacey arrived at 2pm and Santa not long after. My brief for the day was to create a reel showing Lacey’s day at OSO with SIW. I filmed her arriving in the luxury chauffeur service provided for her and her family. Then her coming in and seeing the studio and learning everything she was going to be getting up to throughout the day. I then captured content of the photoshoot itself. Today I set up my phone on a tripod whilst I filmed with my camera, to caapture the BTS of the BTS in the making. I placed it at different points around the room to capture as much as I could of myself and fellow content creator Georgia (@insidethelens__).
After shooting Lacey in both ‘naughty’ and ‘nice’, we moved location to Taskers, to shoot Lacey with the Say It With products by their different christmas trees.
We wrapped up at around 4:30pm and Grace and I had to go back to Ignite Padel to interview womens padel coach Paige. I created a testimonial of Paige introducing herself and talking about her work and skills, to post on their social media and further promote the womens padel community.
I got home at 7pm and continued my work over the next week finishing my set tasks and creating reels for myself and each brand. I really enjoyed this shoot and getting to work with Lacey, it was really nice to talk to her and her family and experience the real Lacey and not just what you see on social media. It was interesting to talk to Lacey’s mum and auntie and hear about their experiences and how they handle Lacey in the public eye.
Today at OSO I got to work with new fashion designer and owner of brand Palm Row, Emily. Emily designs and hand makes all of her pieces. Today she was shooting her new Christmas collection.
I arrived at 9am whilst models were in hair and makeup. Hair and Makeup artists on shoot today was Lisa Heard, and Sophie O’hare, both whom I have worked with before. Models on shoot were Libby Gaynor, Ashlynn Warnock, Ruby Quinn, and Kelsey Morgan. I have never worked with Ruby before but she was really nice and easy to work with.
Whilst models were getting ready, I captured some behind the scenes content and whilst there was some spare time, I set up some LipFix products on the white backdrop with disco balls, to capture some Christmas shots. Grace let me do my own thing with this as it was just some simple shots for the brands social media.
We began shooting around 11am and I captured behind the scenes content to create some reels for Palm Row, GAS Management and a behind the scenes of myself, showing what I’m getting up to on a shoot day. I also set my phone up on a tripod and filmed Sophie doing Ruby’s makeup to create a seperate video for her. Each model shot in 2 different pieces out of the collection and I filmed each model whilst Andy photgraphed them. They also shot with different props like chairs and benches and incorporrated some LipFix products into the shoot to promote another brand that Grace manages and I feel like I’m learning alot about how Grace handles product placement and promotion.
We wrapped up around 1pm and I continued my work at home creating reels for each brand. I enjoyed my time on shoot today and getting to work with a new brand and grow my connections further. I feel really confident now going into the studio and doing my own thing and knowing Grace trusts meto produce the work and content that she wants.
Palm Row Sparkle Season
Today I got to work with another brand which I have never worked with before, mens activewwear brand, Velozia. I arrived at 10am, just before we were ready to start shooting.
On shoot today was creative director- Grace, photographer- Andy, content creators- myself and Georgia, Velozia owner- Carl, and models- fitness content creator, Dan Melling and British soap actor, Kurtis Stacey. Owner, Carl is very specific on how he wants his images and content to look. Where Grace would usually just do her own thing, there was alot of popping in and out to get the okay and make sure everything was perfect. I feel like this sort of stopped the flow of the shoot having to keep stopping and starting to change things around, although it is completely understandable him wanting his brand to be portrayed perfectly, but I do feel like because he felt this way, he should have been in the room to add input as and when needed and keep the shoot going as Kurtis was only available till 11am and Dan till 12pm, we needed to get all product and lyifestyle shot as soon as possible. Carl also gave specific instructions on how he wants his behind the scenes content, he wants his videos with products in a specific colour order, so I will now make sure content created by me is up to his standards and perfect for him to post.
After we shot all products and lifestyle shots, the models left and we shot some flatlays of the products, I continued to take some behind the scenes content to create a reel for GAS Management and Velozia. I finished at around 12:30pm and continued my work at home completing tasks set and creating content for the brands.
I enjoyed today working with Velozia and the new models, the models were very easy-going, to work with and took direction well. The owner Carl, despite being slightly more difficult, was still very easy to work with and get along with and is a learning curve for me, knowing that in the future there will be times were not everyone is the easiest to work with and can be difficult. I now know how to handle these situations ans what to expect in the future.
