Critically acclaimed photographer Lewis Khan is on the hunt for Manchester women with a side hustle
How do you spend your Saturdays - shopping at the Arndale, brunching with friends or grafting at your side hustle?
If you’re dedicated to the latter, then acclaimed portrait photographer Lewis Khan wants you.
Khan, who has worked with several major fashion houses including Chanel, has teamed up with JOB TODAY on the hunt for 'Manchester’s most inspirational women'. Ten lucky winners will be selected to feature in a London exhibition called ‘Saturday Girls’, which will champion the hard-working young women of the city who embrace part-time and weekend work to achieve their goals.
The closing date for applicants is 28th August 2018. Shooting will take place in September in Manchester, with the London exhibition showcasing in October.
Whilst the side hustle – having a career-driving project alongside your main source of income – is a popular concept in the modern lifestyle, the concept was born out of a term coined decades career choice was born out of the ‘Saturday Girls, a term coined decades ago to describe women using part-time, weekend work to enhance their lives, prospects and financial freedom. Today, the Saturday Girls have evolved into more entrepreneurial, tech savvy women – many of which have more than one side hustle on the go.
The leading ladies will be shot by Lewis Khan, an expert at telling stories through portraiture.
