Mimi.....

Hello,
I’m Ursula; I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 97 with a Degree in photography. I’ve been running a photography business FLUK STUDIOS in Nottingham City Centre for over five years.

In that time I’ve been lucky enough to meet and photograph some well – known personalities including Sir bob Geldof and Sir Paul Smith to name a few.

Last year I became the East Midlands photographer of the year 2007 at the Master Photographers Association Print competition. As well as being nominated over-all winner, I also won first place in three other categories - Fashion, Glamour and Avant Garde Portraiture. In November 2007 I launched Mimi Photography: my new company. Mimi has already received a Nominee Photography Award at the Nottingham Creative Business Awards 2007.

All in all last year was a pretty good year for me.

At Thirsty Thursday 21st of Feb, I’ll be giving you some insight into how hard work, determination and a love affair with long hours can eventually pay off!

I will be talking about the planning and organisation that goes into setting up a company like Mimi that will let you do what you really love doing and earn recognition from your peers, as well as how goal setting is imperative to the whole start up process.

Look out for the City life magazine review of the Mimi experience in the latest edition (Jan / Feb. 2008)

Look forward to seeing you there on Thursday - Ursula x
