My first Major Photo shoot

ike · 2010-01-25 10:36:43

Following on form this thread I posted up last year (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055661450) and after investing in some proper studio lighting, I've just completed what I consider to be my first full on photo assignment. I've done a few portraits shoots over the last few months but this was a biggie…

Following on form this thread I posted up last year (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055661450) and after investing in some proper studio lighting, I've just completed what I consider to be my first full on photo assignment. I've done a few portraits shoots over the last few months but this was a biggie with no room for error...

It was basically a fashion shoot, to get a new collection launched into new markets/countries, the brief was to keep the images simple with the emphasis on the clothes and less on the modelling/posing etc. The end result might look straightforward but a lot of work goes into the day, About 2 hours of prep/setup 4 hours of actual shooting (25 clothes changes :rolleyes:) and then probably about another 2-3 hours of post production and not to mention 2 hours of travel and the photos had to be ready to send out first thing this morning....The designer was delighted and currently the shots are winging their way around Ireland, UK and Scandinavia to various agents.

No intentions of giving up the day job but I got such a great feeling of accomplishment that I hope to push on from here.

I'm not coming on here singing my own praises, Really what I'm trying to say is that if an opportunity comes your way and you know your good enough go for it...a year ago I knew I wasn't good enough and wouldn't have considered it...

Got paid OK They'll pay me even better the next time
