Work Experience


My name is Lucia - I’m aged 16 and I live in Brighton. This week I’m doing photography work experience with Jon Silver at Southdown Studio. I get to spend my week here with Jon, asking silly questions, eating left over Chinese and taking a few photos every once in a while!

This place is immense, as long as Jon stops nagging me to step in front of the camera.

I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone, customers and work experience students… I don’t want to leave on friday! :(

Thanks to Jon & co for everything! I’ve really enjoyed it so far.

Hello, this is Ellie, Ella and Jaz.

We’re doing work experience at Southdown Studios for the week. And so far it’s been GREAT! (more…)

Here at Southdown Studio we place enormous importance on education, and we’re just about the only photographic studio or photographers in the Brighton & Sussex areas who offer placements to school work experience students. So far we’ve played host to students from loads of different schools around the area, including Hattie, Alice, Adam, Alice, Charlotte, Sam, Sophia… and this week, it’s the turn of three students from Cardinal Newman School - Ellie, Ella and Jaz. So far they’ve been lovely, and they seem to be enjoying their week. Hopefully they’ll write about their experiences here…
