I've been away, again. Big surprise.
Bombarded with tons of things.
Anywho... my husband volunteered me to take headshots for the company he works for.
While I'm thrilled he only trusts me to take the photos (his words, not mine), let me say they weren't even considering hiring anyone... so this is non paying. Like I was saying, I am thrilled he has the confidence in me to do this, however, I have NO set up equipment. The lighting there was HORRENDOUS. There were a HANDFUL of people who looked semi-professional... AND, I had to take photos of over 70 people.
Now, I have the task of looking through said photos, editing them to the best of my ability, and then having them all printed (at Walmart, since they dont want to spend much), and then I have to frame them!
All has to be done by Sunday evening!
What the hell?
Seriously!
I had to travel to TWO different centers (an hour apart) to get pictures. Not everyone works on the same days at the same time. This was AND CONTINUES TO BE a NIGHTMARE!!!
So on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday I took the photos. Thursday I spent the day traveling to 6 different stores to get the number of frames needed. And I'm spending today and tomorrow editing and framing so that Sunday we can get the photos hung and then go to Six Flags.
Did I mention this is a NIGHTMARE???
The pictures do not even come close to representing my best work. And because they HAVE to be up by Monday (since the big-bosses are all coming in and expecting to see a wall of management), I have to display sub-par work.
I have, however, talked with the director and will be doing a re-shoot in the next few weeks so that *I* am happy with the results. I can't have my name attached to terrible quality.
Anyways, I just needed to rant. HOPEFULLY I can salvage these pictures so that they can be displayed without looking too amateur.
Wish me luck!
Lots of coffee for me! haha
