So. Today was an intense day. But in a good way. I posted a while back about this upcoming photoshoot I had with fashion styling students from LIM college. Basically, my friend Katrina and I were the photographers for six groups of students who were styling their own fashion shoots. That was today.

We started at 9am. I met Katrina and about fifty other people including students and models in the basement of the Media Arts building of our school. We did hair and makeup for about forty-five minutes and then started shooting. I did five consecutive photoshoots and ended at about 5pm. The timing was pretty insane, considering that I was responsible for shooting for four of the groups and each group at roughly four looks each. My photoshoot this past weekend had five looks and it took more than three hours. These kids had about forty-five minutes to an hour to crank out a five-page spread.

I’m pretty excited because considering the time constraints, the photographs turned out phenomenally. I think this is the first photoshoot I’ve ever done in which my sole responsibility was to be the photographer. I had like five stylists with me at each shoot and a professional model. Besides not being able to sit down, pee, or eat the entire day, it was really a blast. Nothing really bad happened besides the Pratt photo department getting pissy with us about basically taking over the entire building. I got so many great shots that it’s going to be difficult to choose which ones to use for the final collections. Katrina and I are planning an all-day photoshopping marathon this Sunday. I have 941 pictures two sort through, so it should be quite the day.
