Shoot 'em up

[batskeets]

Holy crap. How did I ever live without Design Float? It's like Digg, but specifically for design, and without all the stupid crap. I added it to my RSS feeds maybe two days ago, and I've already bookmarked a ton of resources through it. LOVE IT.

Shoot yesterday actually happened! Everyone was late due to traffic, but we weren't working outdoors, so it wasn't a big deal. We'd worked with the model before, but it was for a magazine shoot where we didn't really have any creative control. Turns out she likes the edgy/weird stuff just as much as I do, so we got some rad shots. Must, must work with her again.



I'm really glad I got some of my creative mojo out with last night's shoot, because we have a TON of weddings over the next couple of weeks. Don't get me wrong, weddings require plenty of creativity, too, but it's creativity of a different sort than what you get with studio shooting. Event shooting is more about capturing what's there in an interesting way, rather than giving birth to an idea or a concept.

And, I'm spent.

How much photoshop time would you say you spend per picture, on average?

[skeets.livejournal.com]

It varies pretty wildly; sometimes it's as little as 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes as much as a couple of hours.

You should post some before and after shots. I'd love to see the difference.

They say it's better the second time, they say you get to do the weird stuff.


..We do the weird stuff! ^^;

Same here.

I too am really interested in what the difference is between what you actually capture and then the polished version. I understand though if you would hesitate to do it. I would never consider letting anyone read a short of mine before I went back and polished it a bit.
