For part of Tony's assignment we have do a series of PR photographs. this meant visiting a business or company to gather images to tell a story. My first idea was to e-mail PADS the People And Dogs Society. I have already had contact with this company before in the form of a photography competition in which I recieved the reserve first place.
This is the e-mail I sent.

"Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a student at Wakefield College and also the runner up from your previous photography competition and my photograph of "the legs" was included in the special mentions. I am currently studying a foundation degree in commercial photography and one of my assignments includes a brief for PR photography. I am e-mailing to ask if you would be interested in allowing me to use your charity as part of my brief, these photos could include fundraising events, what happens at head office or rescue centres/re-homing or portraits of staff and dogs. You would of course be able to use any of the photographs as advertising for the charity for free.
Please let me know if you are interested either via e-mail or phone or I could come into your head office for a chat as I only live in Altofts.

Thank you."

I recieved this e-mail the following day.

"Dear Amy Jo
Thanks for your offer. I'm not sure if we can help, although I'm open to it if possible.
I will have to refer to a couple of other people and get back to you on this. I'll do so asap but it would be helpful if you could let me know your deadline.

Debbie Waller
Hon Chairman/Webmaster"

I replied the same day letting her know what my deadline was and also that i was interested in attending the Halloween dog show. I am now awaiting a reply but I am also considering other options.
