My work experience


I had my work experience at a Södra Esplanaden, near Domkyrkan. It’s not a company, actually everyone who is working there are self-employment workers. That means they work by them selfs, not in a company. They called it a creative studio, where they are working with very different things. Designers, illustrators, photographers,web developers, public relations consultants and project managers to copywriters, journalists and editors are examples of what people are working as at Södra Esplanaden. There are just one company where three people work together. Just one of all thirty persons are hired!

The person who was hired there, was also my mentor and her name was AnnaJohanna. On the first day I helped her a bit with different things like finding a list with potential lecturers. I also did a lot of other stuff.

One day they had a lecture about how it is to be a self-employment worker, how they work and stuff like that. I was going to take some photographs and document it on my PRAO-blog which I made on the first day with one of the web developers. We made it on Wordpress so it was very instructive.

My schedule was kind of flexible. To be a self-employment worker means you can come and go as you want, you don’t have a boss. So it was kind of the same thing for me. If I didn’t have anything to do, I went home earlier. Some days I had many things to do so I stayed longer than I was supposed to do.

One day I met up with the photographer, Meredith. The meeting with her was the most interesting and instructive thing I learned at the Esplanade. She learned me so much stuff about my camera and we also looked at some very good photographers. Why the meeting was so instructive is because I’m very into photographing. I also photographed some events they had at the Esplanade.

I did very different things on my time there but this was a small piece of everything I did.
