For my next shoot for this story telling unit, I will be working with my friend Chelsea Tolhurst. Chelsea is a professional dressage rider working for Olympian Judy Harvey. She is based in Buckinghamshire, and has worked for a range of professional dressage riders over the years. Being a close friend, I wanted to included her in my story telling project because I want to highlight all the hardwork that she has put into her passion over the years. I have had the pleaser of watching and photographing her progress over the many years I have known her. Chelsea has followed an unusual path in life compared others, her story and job is compelling and is a refreshing change to the mundaneness of most people.

Her story is interesting because it is very different to others, by photographing and interviewing her I am giving the audience an idea of her everyday life. Chelsea has to face a lot of challenges and struggles in her line of work, I want to highlight the amount of work she has to put into to her job on a daily basis. I plan to travel to the yard she is working on and document her over the space of a week. I plan to conduct an interview similar to the one I conducted with Benjamin who aspires to become a professional boxer. I want the interview to cover the past, present and her hopes for the future. I want the shoot to highlight how hard Chelsea works and her level of drive to be the best she can be.

I plan to get a series of documentary shots of Chelsea doing her day to day job, I also want to get plenty of footage of her riding combined with the interview. I plan to capture both still and moving image during my time spent with her. I want plenty of choice when it comes to refining the best shots to include in the project. I am looking forward to documenting Chelsea over the week I spend with her. I have given myself more time with the subject this time so I am able to get much more content. I have also arrange to watch Chelsea ride different horses on a daily practice, so I will have plenty of content highlighting the struggles of the job she does. I have learnt from with previous shoot and have altered the elements I wasn’t happy with in my last shoot. I have made sure I have plenty of time with the subject to get as much content as I possibly can. I am looking forward to this shoot and I am excited to see the results I get.
