I was chatting with Janne online on tuesday and he happened to mention that there was a model just around the corner. They know eachother from school and figured that she just might agree to work with us for a location shoot. Before even letting him to discuss the possible dates I said that I’ll be there tomorrow around four if she Heidi says yes.
All of the sudden I was in a rush to recharge the batteries.
Janne posted me picture of Heidi and I thought of two things. One: I really have to screw things up to not get a really good picture of her to my portfolio. Two: how the hell will do pictures that are good enough for her portfolio. I do not want to waste her time to shoot crap that she can not use!
I think we were in Ullanlinna in Helsinki, Im not sure. Picture snapper from Kotka in Helsinki is pertty much disaster in terms of whereabouts. I really like to scout the locations because it save time. A lot of time! Our plan was different. Just walk around a bit and see what we find and work with that.
Im at ease in any location these days so that did not worry me. With a model like Heidi you do not want to waste time walking around looking for backdrops. Dispite all my fears it all went so well. We found couple of locations quickly and Heidi was ablsolutely perfect. No need warm up or get comfortable with the camera. Actualy one the frames used was the first frame of the aka the chimp frame.
Thank you both Janne and Heidi. What a day!
More to come..
Sorry, but I had a good laugh at the idea of you being in Helsinki without having the slightest idea where in the city you are..
This was an interesting entry in the sense that now I have a better idea what your location scouting is all about. I doubt if I still understand it all, our photography is so different, but at least I think I know a bit more.
You should have seen me, you would have laughed harder.
