More Ad Work

Well, sometimes clients change directions and ask for something else.

Nothing new with that. After posting the selects from a recent shoot for a Summer Intensive ad and even getting as far as image delivery, the powers that be changed their mind. No longer was the image to be a just a "happy girl" with a big smile. It needed to say "dance" as well.

Yes, I know.

I specifically asked about this and was told that it wasn't necessary. ;-)

Ok, round two. We re-shot a series of images more along the lines of what they now wanted - 3/4 portraits with elements of "happy girl" and "dance" thrown in for good measure.

Hey, I can do that.

Here are some of the out-takes (my favorites, only some of these were selects for the client):

I'm very pleased with this set and more-so with my wonderful model. What a trooper. And I love the colors I was getting out of Lightroom tonight. Sometimes things click, and especially the blue tones were really working for me.

I caught a video on YouTube of imaging wunderkind and all round great guy Seth Resnick (of D-65 Fame, highly recommended) at Imaging USA today:

Forgive the goofy video, focus on Seth's pearls of wisdom.

He's singing Lightroom's praises and I understand why. Today I was asked to go back in my archive 8 months and get a picture for a client - it took me less than a minute. I found it amidst the 60,000 other images I shot last year. Nice.

Finally,

I worked late into the night working on a book for a client - 90 images in 50 pages. The prototype looks great and I'll be excited to send it off to the printers...
