Author Topic: My first solo photoshoot (Read 9350 times)

Tomorrow I have my first solo photoshoot and I'm scared $:\$ Not one to do things by halves, I chose 'snowqueen' as the theme and have hired a castle (Yes you read correctly) and it's all a bit full on!
This means a make up artist will spray a model blue/silver/white and apply dramatic sparkly make up, fake snow will be squirted and I have to take photos worthy of her portfolio.

I'm dreading it all going wrong, my stomach is in knots and I've charged all my gear, checked, double checked and now all I need is for everyone to keep their fingers crossed please!

I'm praying my small amount of skill and my ability to blag will get me through the day!!

Will the model be naked ?

Will the model be female is the most important question.

Not that you will need it but fingers crossed for ya.

and don't forget to put some film in the camera.

The night before the shoot, the model called me and cancelled. I'd hired a castle, bought the dress, had it adjusted, employed a make up artist, hired an assistant. Disaster....so I sat and cried and then at 4.30am I drove to Richmond Park to take photos of the deer rutting instead. I'm inconsolable about my lovely shoot.

I have a pin up shoot on sunday. I may post some photos up of the ladies at that shoot.

Bad luck
Keep your chin up, it will happen.

John Silva · « **Reply #13 on:** 13 October 2011, 05:23:53 pm »

I guess you didnt have any insurance in place just in case of that happening.
Couldn't you have put a shout out on here at 4 in the morning to get a fill in model.

Yea on second thoughts

There will be over times for you in the future. Chin up

Sheesh, that's a bugger

I once had a shoot planned for my catalogue when I had a call from the model (clearly down with a serious cold!) saying that she'd still try to make it if I wanted!

Fortunately it wasn't desperate and it would be no loss to reschedule so I told her not to be so noble and call me when she was over the cold

Bugger that- can we see the pictures of the deer rutting?

Thanks folks. The pics from my Pin Up girl railway shoot are here (link below) If anyone can tell me what the old car is I'd be very grateful

Feel free to 'like' my photography page

I've yet to edit all my deer pics, but they'll be on the same page when completed.
