How does a photographer turn her settings from one mode to another?
Imagine
this, I am a fan of the tv series The Walking Dead... I did not know
that my next engagement session will be at one of the shooting locations
of the series when I booked the couple.
I got to find out about it the day before of the session as I was looking for the best restaurant to meet Audrea and Joe.
And
there stood in my computer monitor are photos and articles about
Downtown Senoia and where scenes from the past seasons of TWD was shot,
and the latest news is that they built a wall just in the heart of the
downtown for future scenes.
This kinda make me worry a bit
(excitement for the TWD aside). What if it's closed right now and we've
got no areas to shoot my engagement
Well,
arriving at the area finally, the place is quieter than "dead"
itself... we (with my assistant/s and also fans of TWD) took photos in
the area, of the infamous "Woodbury" and the "railroad" and the "TWD
walk of fame". Last but not the least, we tried to see if the official
TWD souvenir store is still open, unfortunately, they're closed by 5pm.
We still manage to just take photos outside.
And then it was time to leave my buddies and meet my couple.....I have to switch to "professional" mode
I
love Audrea and Joe. They were shy in the beginning as the couple
thought they are are overly dressed for the session. I didn't think
so... they were cute and honestly, they blended with the Senoia's
downtown scene! We even finished earlier than I thought, the session was
so smooth....
My clients were so sweet... they found out I had to drive an hour to get to them and told me to drive home safely.
We parted ways satisfied with our photoshoot and I have to switch back to "play" mode.
I
took more photos of the TWD scene with my buddies. On the way back home
we spotted a Krispy Kreme restaurant, headed in, watched how doughnuts
are fried and glazed.. ate most of the dozen we got, and had free
coffee.
At home, I edited my photos and sent them happily to
Audrea and Joe. The bride-to-be responded quick and they're considering
to hire me on their wedding on May 2015!!
Meanwhile, me and my buddies might be back when the crowd in Senoia is full because TWD is actually filming ;-)
