Hecti-city
So about that engagement shooting.. nothing at all what I expected..
I totally forgot that I would be working with a video guy and bad lighting situation and just when I think my unplanned status is going way wrong in walks another video guy and another photographer.. So it was the battle of the media out there.. The bride was very co-operative although I wasn’t the pushy type which I’ve learnt you need to be in this profession. The other photographer was all like “ok you move here and you move there”. I don’t have the mouth for that kinda stuff which is kinda dumb but its something I have to get acquainted with.
The other thing is I’m young and don’t think people knew I was the photographer other than the guy with the big camera.. I was too quiet, too under planned and not assertive at all. Group shots were a mess, with the groups walking away as soon as the other photographer got his shot.. I was like hold up.. I need one as well.
So this photography thing isn’t about what you know about technical stuff and how good your photo’s turn out when you messing about in the garden.. People skills, friendliness, humour.. Stuff I think I do have but only in a known environment.. So this is something I really need to work on. Although the photo’s didn’t come out that bad. I did my best I could. Unfortunately I wont be posting any pics as it is not mine to post and something I find private to the employer.
Another event tonight and I’m feeling way more tense than I did yesterday. Hopefully today I’ll take in to account lighting.. Being assertive, friendly.. etc. I’m taking my beauty dish with today and that should be able to enable me to capture some good shots of the bride.
Anyways wish me luck again 
ciao!
