First Day!

Jill Wachter is a fashion photographer based out of New York City and has been working here for 22 years.On my first day Jill had a shoot set up with two models from Ford Models. We were going to be shooting 4 looks for each model and these were going to be new looks for their books. I arrived to the apartment already set up for the shoot. Jill rents some lights in addition to her own lights ands backdrops. During shooting, Jill frequently changes out memory cards and backups up the images to a separate harddrive. This was one job that Honey and I alternated depending on what we might have been doing at the moment. Jill stays very organized. When looking through images with the model, there is a sheet that gets filled out with the image number, model info, model's outfit, and assignment info. I found this very helpful because if I ever have to do something like this, this will help me keep track of every detail and will help ensure proper editing. Jill also stays in contact with the agency throughout the day by sending emails with screen shots of the images that were selected as favorites. I assisted with pretty much everything. I held the fan, cut up pineapple, downloaded images, archived images, burned cds, and took out the trash.
