More Ad Work
Nothing new with that. After posting the selects from a recent shoot for a Summer Intensive ad and even getting as far as image delivery, the powers that be changed their mind. No longer was the image to be a just a "happy girl" with a big smile. It needed to say "dance" as well.
Yes, I know.
I specifically asked about this and was told that it wasn't necessary.
Ok, round two. We re-shot a series of images more along the lines of what they now wanted - 3/4 portraits with elements of "happy girl" and "dance" thrown in for good measure.
Hey, I can do that.
Here are some of the out-takes (my favorites, only some of these were selects for the client):
I'm very pleased with
this set and more-so with my wonderful model. What a
trooper. And I love the colors I was getting out of
Lightroom tonight. Sometimes things click, and
especially the blue tones were really working for me.
I caught a video on YouTube of imaging wunderkind and
all round great guy Seth Resnick (of D-65 Fame, highly recommended)
at Imaging USA today:
Forgive the goofy video, focus on Seth's pearls of
wisdom.
He's singing Lightroom's praises and I understand
why. Today I was asked to go back in my archive 8
months and get a picture for a client - it took me
less than a minute. I found it amidst the 60,000
other images I shot last year. Nice.
Finally, I worked late into the night working
on a book for a client - 90 images in 50 pages. The
prototype looks great and I'll be excited to send it
off to the printers...
