I took my lights outside for an engagement shoot last Thursday, and I had so much fun. Although I wish I would of asked someone to be my assistant because my light stand blew over (thankfully it was ok). But I should have thought about how my soft box would be a big target for wind to blow into and knock over. I still need to get a better idea of light placement for different lighting techniques but that will come with more time and experience using my lights. The photos turned out great and my client was very pleased, so that was a relief. Does anyone else ever have anxiety about whether or not a client is going to like your work? I always wait for their “omg we love the pictures you posted on Facebook so far” text and I tend to breathe easier after.
As far as my project, I have looked up a number of different ideas as far as food photography goes. I am going to set up a brief meeting with my bosses at Reverends for early next week to discuss plates, and the set up so that we can get all of the necessary items.
