Here's one of those we need it "Yesterday" assignments. The house is under construction and they deliver the furniture a few days prior to shoot day. I get the want list on Wednesday and they need
it photographed Thursday with Exterior, Interior and detail images. So here I am with a list of 145 exposures to be done and delivered the same day with a construction crew trying to finish the job at
the same time! The lighting was tricky with an entire wall facing the deck made out of glass doors and the sun coming in. With 16 stops of difference in light, I needed to really pump up my SB800's. A
few minor issues of lights not working and the contractors being everywhere added to the complexity of this project. Thanks to my years of experience as a Nature Photographer, I was able to handle
this with ease and deliver the images by 6PM the same day. So why the rush? Friday was the deadline for an Architectural Contest they needed the images for and Thursday was the only window of
time to allow the contractors to complete enough of the house and have it look finished in the pictures.

| The Photographer "Every client has a vision. I transform that vision into reality. As a Professional Photographer, It's my job to capture the essence of the subject no matter what it is. When people look at my work, they see clean crisp images. My technical expertise to handle a variety of subjects while working under extreme conditions is one of my best selling points. If you’re going to call yourself a Professional Photographer, then you better have the gear to do it and the results to prove it." |
