Intensive work-related photography-business-experience is what’s been happening over the Easter break, courtesy of Ms Goodman, with some obligatory chocolate and a superb lunch or two. Although the weather has been the biggest story here up north, with snow showers, 50 foot waves and gables rent asunder, making work has been so absorbing that all the wild howling winds have hardly impinged. Out for some post-industrial landscape work tomorrow, but here’s what we’ve been up to so far:
- sourcing, assembling and lighting with a table-top diffused scoop
- 1:1 macro photography: focus and depth of field issues
- using mini-reflectors and bouncing light
- experimenting with multiple flashes and fixed lighting combinations
- phew.
Great to have this in the repertoire, but much more experimentation is required for real polish. Although some way from Maxted standard, can now confidently make a passable small product photograph, thanks to Laura. Maxted won one of The AOP awards last week for his magnificent damp National Geographic mags photo, so there’s a way to go.
We have also been discussing the search engine optimisation of our respective websites, and routes to publishing. The full list of work experience activity will no doubt appear in due course, especially since it’s the subject of a show-and-tell presentation on April 11th.
