The Mass PhotoShoot : 17 July 2010 : Part 2 of 2

...

Setting up my lonesome banner close to the actual entrance onto the beach through Suncoast was complete by 07:00.
My team of helpers were all there on time ready to get this day on the road beach.

All went amazingly well -
I had assigned a 20 minute slot for each applicant and took on average about 7 minutes on each.
There were scheduled breaks throughout the day - but seeing as how smooth things were running - I don't even think they were needed.
An hour 20 minute lunch break came in handy as we all got to eat and fuel up.

After the break we had 2 people not pitch up. If there was any bad note on the day this would be it. As these people were chosen to take part in the event it is sad that they did not take up the opportunity to be involved in a lovely experience, but anyway - things got back on track as the applicants continued to arrive as per schedule.

At appoximately 16:00 we left Suncoast. Home to back up all pictures.

The Mass PhotoShoot was a great success, and I hope that all that were there or were somehow involved in the day had a blast!

Where to from here: I will be editing pictures and on the 31st July 2010 each person will get their 5 edits on a CD.

I will also be selecting 3 applicants to get a full photoshoot with me.

What day is it?

Wow.. busy busy busy.
With the World Cup over - I am back to work.

I am entering a competition which requires an 8 page spread. The pictures have been taken - next up the selection of the pictures to be chosen.
Then I have to post the final product off - soon!

The Mass PhotoShoot is taking place this Saturday - that should go quite well. I have made the selections of people - not an easy task.

I have also invested in my first bit of lighting gear - a reflector, and a stand.

A few pictures from between shots from the shoot for the competition:

Update on Life v1.0

With the world cup coming to a close -Lee Folkard Photography is going to be back in action full force ahead...

As a little teaser - I will be photographer at a comedy show within my community. This will be happening on the evening of Thursday 8th July. Also good to capture the feel of an event with some quick shots.

Tonight, the last world cup game to be played in Durban happens; The semi-final between Spain and Germany - should be a good one.
Whoever wins plays Holland in the final on the 11th July 2010.
And with that comes the end of an awesome spectacle.

I have my mass photoshoot on Saturday July 17th - That also should be an interesting event.

My banners arrived yesterday - very good service from the company I used in Cape Town. My design is simple and clean - keeping in check with all my curent image.
These will be used at most shoots and events.

Will be away this weekend. Near the coast is my destination. Maybe some pictures to come.
