Product photography
I’ve spent the better part of a week shooting for a manufacturer in Cannon Falls. We’ve done several location shoots at different locations showing some of their capabilities. They also need new photography of nearly all their products to display on their website. It’s amazing how many different components go into a protective box. Wheels, handles, latches, cover braces, hinges, labels, etc. It’s been a great project and a lot of fun to see it come together, although I’m starting to get my fill of casters and hinges.
Shoreline Dance Pictures
Pictures of the dancers are coming along great. We’re almost done and the kids look great. If you’d like to see some, http://jloye.instaproofs.com. Tuesday was a busy night, but I think we’re in the clear now and everyone is excited to be able to order everything online. I’m a little disappointed at the number of kids signed up for “in-motion” photos, but once some of the kids see how great their friends look, perhaps they’ll change their minds and request a few. It’s been a fun week seeing the kids dressed up in their outfits and they love smiling for the camera which makes my job much easier.
Busy 2nd quarter
Great news! After a slow first quarter, things are picking up quite a bit. I’ve been working on a number of shoots for clients looking to update their marketing materials. The dance studio I shoot for is coming up next week which will be a busy couple of weeks. Sports teams are looking for team and individual pictures which carries on for several months. Finally, I’ve started advertising senior portraits which go throughout the summer. The kids are always fun to work with. Hopefully as money starts flowing throughout the economy, my business will continue to grow. Almost forgot, I just received a call from Treasure Island and I’ll be shooting an event out there this weekend. I’m excited to work with the bright lights and fancy decorating.
Extruded plastic cases
I’m putting the finishing touches on about 15 plastic cases I photographed for a manufacturer in Cannon Falls. They make sealed and protective boxes in all shapes and sizes for sensitive and expensive equipment. Some are tricky to photograph with reflective sides, dark and small interiors, as well as being just plain big products. The next step is to touch the images up in Photoshop before sending them to my client. Once I’ve finished editing the boxes, I’ll move onto portraits that I shot at a retirement home here in Red Wing. It was fun to get everyone smiling and laughing. I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised with how well the portraits have turned out.
