Here is Trainee Macaulay he is going into work at Beans and Bloom. Trainee Jonny interviewed him about his next steps.

Here are his thoughts.

“I am looking forward to doing the job and making teas and coffees.
I will miss the jesmonite sessions but I’m looking forward to meeting people and learning new skills.”

This post, including photography and caption, was put together by trainees in our media group - well done all!

Our recent photos for the Challenging Perceptions exhibition were captured by Yani of Nova Photo Atelier, a Cheam-based portrait and branding photographer with a focus on personal, business, and event photography, among other services offered at the studio.

Yani specialises in bringing out the confidence and personality of people who don’t usually enjoy being in front of the camera, creating images that are authentic, striking, and unforgettable. Every session is an empowering experience, resulting in portraits people are proud to share. Follow her for the latest projects and offers, or visit novaphotoatelier.com.
