Our second meeting was the day of the shoot.
The plan was to get to Cley Next the Sea for 11 and set up and be ready to shoot by 12 and to all intense and purposes we managed to achieve this, even though I got slightly lost and missed the turning because I wasn't completely sure where I was supposed to be going, I don't think this was very good organisation on our part because I had an address our fashion student gave me but we were meeting in a different place.
I found it hard to collaborate with the film students because I wasn't really sure where I could help or what they needed the help with because I don't have experience with that kind of equipment. It was hard to judge if I would be in the way or in shot because I didn't know how wide they were shooting. But I did my job as a photographer shooting and then feeding back to the fashion student and other photography student about the shots I had captured, which ones I liked from a quick glance and so on, I tried to help as best I could and at the end of the day I feel we all came away with something we could work with and in some cases work we were really pleased with (ki can only speak personally here) that made this project as clean cut as possible.
Personally I don't really like doing fashion shoots so I was kind of dreading having to do something like that but I approached it as if I was doing an on location portrait shoot and started to really enjoy what I was doing.
I realised that all I had to do, is if it wasn't something I was comfortable doing, change my mind set and treat it like something I do enjoy doing and I plan to do more shoots like that for future projects
