Photographers
I think it’s really tough to be a good locations photographer, of course it’s different then a studio shoot and each has its positive and negative side. You have to be quick thinking, creative and organized all at the time same. It looks hard to do and it really is. You have a whole team who is interdependent but on some level they are all depending on the photographer to get the shot, to pull the whole shoot together. Sometimes the photographer is in charge, sometimes it’s the art director, or editor, it’s only confusing when no one is in charge or you have all the responsibility and no authority. All of this is relevant to studio and location shoots. But for the locations photographer you are at the mercy of the elements. You are simply weather dependent and no matter how well organized and well planned you are, you just can’t do anything about the weather, you just have to know when to call it quits and start again the next day.
This shoot was very windy but we managed to get the shot list done!!
I debated about posting my portrait but it was really windy, and the only way that you would really have any idea to understand how windy it is, is to see my hair blowing straight up!

You might not even know the people that you’re working with on a shoot, it could be a whole new team for a job or maybe part of the team knows each other already. It’s different everytime.
We had a casting at when we first arrived, sometimes you do a selection before you arrive and then you do a casting according to your selection and brief. If you cast the right model 80% of your work is done, maybe not 80% but a huge amount, getting the right model is so important. And it’s not just about looks and size, so much if is it down to personality and that goes for the whole team.
Shooting on the beach, I worked with photographer Sara Wilson, I never worked with her before but ended up adoring her! She’s really cool and interesting and really web savvy. She loves blogs and uses skype all the time. It’s really cool way to work, you don’t know anyone and you spend every moment together for 10 days or so and then you all go off your separate ways.
