Staffs live work, job 2
This was the second live job I had through from Staffs uni with-in 2 weeks, I was happy that I was getting paid work again, but I was concerned about if it was going to get in the way of my uni work. Yet again I feel it's down to time management, but this will help me to get ready for the industry again, because of the workload of being a professional photographer in the industry.
Its not all Monday to Friday 9-5, as I will have to do wedding and other freelance work at weekends, from my experience when I was in the industry I no of the workload and it's very heavy because I was in a city location. I was about working 16 hours a day with traveling, shooting and editing so I no its not going to be easy.
This brief was all about, the Uni wanted me to produce a range of images to market and advertises there new sport kit, here are some image from the shoot I did. The one at the top shows what Derby Uni have done with there marketing for there sports kit, The client wanted was after the same as this but I feel it is a bit to Americanised for a british uni.
They were a few problems with this job,
One was that they had a other photographer as the job and that meant I was shadowing him, so I didn't have control of the shoot. Another problem was that the light was poor and we didn't have any studio lighting with us, in-turn this meant, I needed to relay on post production skills I have.
The Uni were happy with the results of this shoot, I would say that these's are not the best images I have done but I am happy with the quality of them seems the lighting was poor and the problem we had.
I feel this will all be worth it in the long run, but like what this quote says, I will have them days when I feel is it all worth it.
"The road to becoming an established professional photographer is not an easy one. The most important thing is willpower. There will almost certainly be times when you wonder if it is all worth it. Try not to become downhearted and disillusioned. Make as many contacts as you possible can. It takes time. Go out there and do it."
