My Digital World

Finally, I can finish my first assignment for photography. The day before, Faruk's sister (Hanna) came along to my place for shooting. She never had any experience in shooting. Therefore, I had to tell her the things I know.

Shooting with Hanna is tiring, since it is her first shooting. The day before the shooting, Faruk, Hanna, Bou and other friends from our university had a kind of gathering, because Faruk and Wesley are leaving us. Wesley has a job offer and he will start his career after he is back from holidaying with his girlfriend. Faruk is leaving us and he went to Taiwan for working. At that day, I did not take any pics because I had no time to go back to my room to grab my cam.

Well, let continue with shooting. This Friday, I had a kind of professional shooting. I had MUA and experienced model to work with. This shooting differs from other shooting. I personally think that the model lacks something in doing a good pose. She liked to look down and put her head in front of the body.

During the shooting, the MUA also gave her opinions which are very useful. She gave feedbacks to the model. While I was shooting at almost at the end, something oooops happened. While the model was lying on the ground and she was ready for the first few new shots, one of her breast is totally uncovered. She didn't notice that. I told her that her breast came out of her shirt. This is my first time I saw a breast of a woman. Before I notice that her breast is uncovered, I look carefully at it. I thought it was a weird collar. But after a few seconds, I realise it was her breast! Oh my gods! I think it was not a big deal for her, since she was not shocked.

After the shooting I open my photoshop and editting the pics since my cousin wanna have them by next day. So, I play photoshop till 5am!!! Then I went to bed and slept till 9am. My cousin came to me at around 11am since I wanted to show him the pics I edit. He was very satisfying with the results.

After showing and handle the pics to him, I took the train to Groningen. When I was almost home, Willemijn (our model) sent me a sms about the selection of which pics will be on the cover and posters. When I same to msn to send her the pics that will be used for the poster, she was not happy with the chosen pics and the way how I edit the pics. The very smooth skin plus high-key effects that I applied, seemed to be outdated. Willemijn said that professional photographer will not do that. So, that is a thing that I learn from her. :)

It was my first time that I chat with her on msn. She is quite spontaneous girl. Although our first appointment was cancelled since it was unclear for her what the assignment means. Let me show you the pics that my cousin selected which I applied those effects on photoshop. Do give me comments!!!
