Week 8

This week we assisted on a shoot for a musician. We helped with the styling and setting up. We also helped with the lighting arrangement and loading and editing of the images. I learned that it can get kind of intense working on the set of a shoot. There is a lot of running around to do and it is VERY important to be organized and keep the wires out of the way so that no one gets hurt. Also this week we were given a payed retouch job from a model that lives here. That was also a really great experience because I had never had to do a heavy amount of re touching. The model had a specific idea of how she wanted her images retouched. She loved how I did mine and told me that she is going to have me retouch all of her photographs from now on.

Week 7

On Tuesday we had a really awesome day. We learned how to print color film. We went to a place called Print Space, which is a lab where you can rent a space for a few hours to develop, print, or whatever you need to do with your images. It was a really great experience. The photographer I am interning with was making contact sheets from 9/11. I have always wanted to learn how to print color film and yesterday i had to opportunity to learn. On wednesday we scanned in the contact sheets so that there were digital copies. Thursday we finished scanning in the contact sheets. The photographer had 2 scheduled shoots so we assisted with those also. They were shoots for stock images. I also began shooting for the second part of my assignment about tattoo artists around NY which was assigned by the photographer. I went to Jaz Tattoo and met a really awesome artist.

Week 6

This week we did our own assignments. We went out and shot tourist attractions around NYC.

Week 5

This week was pretty much just dedicated to editing the photos from the fashion shoot last week. All three days were spent on retouching the photographs. The lady who the images were shot for printed out all the pictures and wrote down what she wanted to be edited which was really helpful because a lot of the stuff on the images were things that I would have never thought to edit out but it ended up being a much better result in the long run. It was actually a lot more fun then I thought it would be. It was really cool seeing the final results compared to the original image.

My Assignment for this week was to shoot tattoo shops and artists around NY but since I was only supposed to shoot 3 and only 2 out of the 8 shops I went to let me shoot the artists and / or in the shop I had to improvise a little bit. I also ended up going on n the same day that a lot of activity was happening in Union Square. There were break dancers and the Gay Pride Parade was going on. Here is a link to some of the photographs that I took for this assignment.
