Upcoming assignments
As I briefly mentioned earlier, I suddenly got several more contacts, which resulted in a couple more upcoming shoots. Next weekend will be quite busy, in fact.
First I will be going to Limburg on friday for my first away shoot. An aspiring model has asked me for help to expand her portfolio. Logistics are tricky on this one, as it's an evening shoot quite a distance away from my studio, but I still want to take most of my lights (due to the nature of the shoot). Also it's not clear we'll have a location to shoot in. In retrospect I should maybe have waited with doing such a distant shoot until I had more experience, but I said yes, so yes it is.
Then on Saturday is the photoshoot I've talked about previously: the mother with her two little girls. This is in the studio so should be easier. I've seen some cheap pink polka dot cloth in a store nearby which I might get as a background.
Finally on Monday (a holiday here in Belgium) I'm having a professional model over who also wishes to expand her portfolio. I'm quite nervous about that, but hopefully by then I'll have a bit more experience. The photo session with Tamara actually boosted my confidence quite a bit, because while there's a lot I need to improve at, the results aren't too bad either.
Other than that I've nothing else in the pipeline. One other parent has contacted me for a family portrait, but a date hasn't been set for that yet. If I don't have any other contacts in a week or so, I might look into some other avenues of spreading the word.
