JSP Visual Week In Review ~ 10.17.20
I spent much of this week nervous.
Nervous because I had a shoot scheduled on Friday afternoon with a young musician in my town.
(I guess all small towns are like this, but the talent level of our teenagers here is amazing. But I digress.)
The young gal’s dad had reached out to me via my Zenfolio site saying his daughter was releasing an album soon, and they needed cover art and promo photos. The following week, I went over to their house where they played me the album in their basement recording studio.
Sounded great. Think Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac combined with some bossa nova.
Anyway, the stage was set and we made plans for the shoot. I was excited to get the job…and immediately nervous.
Doubting why I put myself out there to do this. Wondering if I could pull it off, do I have what I need (gear wise), do I have what I need (creativity wise), can I get the camera I’m still finding out about to do what I want it to do….
So, I pulled out my journal, made some notes, drew some diagrams, reminders of things to do.
On the day of shoot, I checked my list a couple of times. And I was ready.
Set-up time was 2 to 3 pm.
Call for the subject to be on the set was 3 p.m.
More to come.
