Photography Kat Lau
Why I am commissioned for this photoshoot, and we(me and one of my assistant) have to travel from Zhuhai to Shenzhen China for this fashion shoot? Does Shenzhen don't have photographer(s)?
It's because I am good for planning / manage flexibly and indeed know how to light ;)
Part of the difficulty for this photoshoot is the photographer have to done the scouting and create a production plan for the whole photoshoot based on client's requirements... by pick the right but limited lights and light modifiers (not as their usual just have some flash light / flashing / show off) within the first half day, then we have to execute the shoot next day within a limited budget who offered by the middle man but not the client(you know what I mean here is China).
The real shoot
Client tell the middle man that how bad the photographs she got from their last photo shoot, and this time is completely different because the photographs SOC showing in the middle man's almost broken MBP is what she looking for... for a long time.
We have complete the photo shot as planned although there are many different obstruction in between and most by the middle man and one of the photographic assistant middle man provided.
