Today marked the day of the big photoshoot. Both myself and
another intern Emma have been in charge of the preparation and organization of
this shoot. So it safe to say anxiety levels this morning where set on heart
attack mode.
The client is launching a new active wear range and
therefore needed studio shots for the website as well as the social media
pages.
Being a little Aussie girl in the big unfamiliar setting of
London proved to be difficult when organizing this shoot. Models,
photographers, studio space, makeup artists and hair stylists were all needed
for this event to take place.
If I was back in Perth I’d use my networking to be able to
contact people, I’d know their work and what to expect. But being here knowing
no one it proved difficult to execute what I had planned without having worked
with the talent before. Luckily for me
one of the girls I’m living with over here is a model and was able to give me a
few handy tips on people who would be able to assist me with this photoshoot.
PHEW.
Emma and myself created a running sheet for today including
every little task and person that may be involved. Every minute of the day was
scheduled specifically in order to complete all our tasks within the studio’s
time allowance.
Despite this morning’s anxious nerves, the day ran extremely
well! The client SoHot were very pleased with how the day ran and I am
completely and utterly relieved! Here’s a few tips I would suggest to anyone
running an event similar to this…

2. Too organized? NEVER! A detailed running sheet
is highly recommended in order to complete every single little task.

3. Speak up. If you have an idea that you think
will benefit your client don’t be afraid to share. I did exactly that and
suggested a video reel be shot to help customers purchasing decisions and
curate original content for social media. They loved the idea and chose to run
with it.

4. Did we just become best friends?? Make those
contacts ladies and gents. I cannot stress how important it is to make a list
of contacts, especially on a global scale. These people can help you in the
future. It’s not what you know it’s who you know – I can assure you, from what
I have found over here; it most definitely is the case.
