My first team photo - I was asked if I would be able to do a team photo. No problem I thought, Well then they had a lighted sign on the stage in the gym and asked me to incorporate it into the photo. Ok I thought,then I asked the time frame - I shot this on a Monday night -they said they need it Wednesday, good I thought I have a week but no they needed it the same week, Wenesday by noon they needed to submit the photos.
Also to my surprise was a HUGE latter 1000 feet high (not really that tall but it was big) and they wanted me to climb it to take an areal shot. Haa, little did they know I'm the same person who never was able to climb anything. I did climb the latter clinging tightly to the sides wondering how am I ever going to let go with one of my hands to snap the photo and even look down!
Well they did love the pictures and had a nice order from them as well.
I know there were a few shadow issues with this one - I only brought two speed lights and reflecting soft boxes.
Lesson learned -more large group lighting practice needed
