Nicole's Summer Internship
Wednesday, July 13, 2011
This is a call sheet for a shoot that we did today. The shoot was for Engagement 101 Magazine. The assignment was to shoot a mixture of engagement and wedding rigs with different manicures. The shoot was in a very small office and we(the other intern and I) were not really needed most of the day and there wasn't even space for us to be in the room during the shoot anyway.

The first two images are older photos that I edited for Jill's portfolio.
Again, this model had some bad skin but it was fixable. Overall, a fairly easy image to edit since the background wasn't too much.
This image didn't require too much work, although the background was dirty because the image sensor in the camera was dirty.
Marjorie hired Jill to shoot some images for her comp card.I only edited one image, which I believe is being used for Jill's portfolio. A lot of the images of Marjorie are overexposed because I don't think Jill is too comfortable with getting the correct exposure of dark skin. It's a difficult thing to do but it can be done. On this shoot, the other intern and I were constantly being yelled at for basically not being able to read Jill's mind about what she wanted us to do. This internship has become incredibly frustrating as I am consistently being treated like I am stupid and don't know what I'm doing.

These are older pictures that I edited for Jill's portfolio.
This image required a lot of time to edit. The model's skin was a mess and blending the sky and moving the tree took a little longer than expected. Extending the hammock wasn't hard at all since the clone stamp worked very well. To edit the skin I started with the clone stamp but it wasn't working well and left too many circle marks. I then switched to the spot healing brush and it worked perfectly.
This image wasn't too hard to edit. I extended the background, fixed the hands a little, did a little work on the skin, and just color corrected it.

These photos are from an old Target job that Jill shot a year or so ago. When going through the images on the white background, I didn't really like any of the photos. The timing and poses were weird and few of them were portfolio worthy in my opinion. Jill wanted these edited for her portfolio. She's trying to create a more diverse portfolio while still showing a lot of commercial work in order to appeal to some department stores and the like.

This is just a screenshot of the now contacts window. Jill uses this to keep track of clients, agencies, and other contacts. We are constantly trying to update the database(finding emails, phone numbers, and any other important information). It's a great program because you can organize contacts into sperate groups and put people onto email lists.

These were shot for the modeling agency. As with the images of Benjamin, I was not at this shoot but I was able to edit the photos. I found fixing the smallest details was very important to Jill. My view on editing is this, editing should be based on what your final product will be. If you know you're shooting for a billboard you would use the best camera available to you in order to get the sharpest image possible. One would also edit the image so it was flawless, the larger the image the more a tiny imperfection will be visible. If you are shooting for a models comp card where the final image is going to be no bigger than 5x7, the amount of editing and attention to small detail (such as a very small wrinkle in the shirt) does not need to be as intense. Yes, there is still a fair amount of editing needed done. But if you have a lot of work to be done with multiple projects, spending a few hours on one picture that isn't going to be very big or important just seems like a waste of time to me. Get what needs to be done and don't waste your time on frivolous editing.
