B.Loggin like a Lumberjack

I spent all day Friday doing the assistant thing, and though it was a long day and quite hot out I’d like to think I learned something. Woke up at around 5 in the morning and after all was said and done, got to Hollywood/Miami around 8:30 and bummed around in the lab which was the decided meeting point for another few hours. There were 5-6 photographers and 3 models who were all just looking to try something new and have a good time, while quite possibly augmenting their portfolio of work. The photographer for Cape Coral I assisted worked with primarily with natural light so my role was battling with the wind with a reflector while I watched how he set-up the shot and so forth. Overall I think it was a good experience just being there and seeing how each photographer worked and what equipment yielded what result and so forth. There was one specific photographer using a Leica R series digital camera in combination with a couple strobe set-ups which produced some absolutely amazing work with some great vibrant colors. Another guy was using a Rebel XT body which he replaced the in so that he could take digital infrared photographs which were also absolutely amazing in their own right. Just being able to be in a photography setting again did wonders and gave me a bit of a boost that I needed to really try and get my act together in the photo world.
