Hi guys!

My name is Scott and Im a 3rd year Documentary Photography student at University of Wales, Newport. I would love to do my major project about the keeping of exotic pets and would love for as many of you to participate as possible.

The intention is to travel to you (and your animals), have a chat over a cup of tea and then to photograph the animal, the owner and the environment. I would like the project to be as balanced and honest as possible, exploring the relationship that the owner has with their exotic pets (the close bond etc) whilst also asking honest questions about some of the ethical debates that CAN crop up. With your consent the final edit of photographs could potentially feature in a photography publication and in an exhibition. If you want I would also be happy to give you a copy of the photos on disc.

I think it would be a really worthwhile experience for both parties so I would love for all of you to get in touch. You can message me on here or email me at [email protected]. Of course, if I have been to brief or you have any questions at all, let me know

Thanks guys and I can't wait to hopefully meet some of you!

Admins - Is it ok if I post this in another thread as well? I know a lot of forums don't allow it. Thanks.

I've got a tortoise, but unfortunately he's hibernating at the moment so won't be much use. Good luck with your project anyway.
