Day 7 | Belk| Troy Plota Photography

5.24.13 - 7:45 am - 3:45pm

Today was a longday for everyone. Because my mom was in town I was able to leave earlier, but the rest of the team worked until 6pm or later.

We were on location at Payne Park for the first half and moed location to Sarasota High School for te second. Each on location set up was amazing. We had a huge RV rented that held the clothes and makeup artists, as well as siting room for dining and computer work. The tent outside housed the equipment and wiring for lights,

What I found most interesting about the shooting was how each shot was such a  long process. There was prepping and styling for each shot, and each shot took about 12 minutes, so the 26 shots that we did really added up. It really shows me how much putting time into the photograph before it is taken is so important. I had put work into each shot, prepping, styling and reseraching before, but this is a whole new level of it and I find it incredibly inspiring.

I did some usual errands such as picking up catering fo the models and crew as well as place an order for the next day. Taking care of the models and crew is such an important part of a shoutl
i have especially found with my team that a fueled team is a happy can and we work much better and are in sync with each other.
