Organising Photoshoot
In this weeks monday meeting we discussed the photoshoot. It is booked for in two weeks across monday tuesday wednesday and no one has done anything about it myself included. Im abit of a control freak and we discussed using professional models and alison thinks that would be best. I agress because it makes are work more believable and not student like. The photographs would look like a convinving designers work. After the mmeting being the control freak i am i thought rather then wait a couple of days have a meeting wait another couple of days and discuss as time is running otu just take responsibility and get on with it as i dont like relying on other people and as i have so much to do i think i need to know when im doing what. I called boss models told them how many we require and asked for a range of female models photos and measurements. I know some people wanted red hair i wanted black skin and so i tried to pick a range of girls that would please everyone. Within an hour the lady at boss got back to me and that evening i made up a board of everyones pictures most popular on the top row, and a table of names against all measuerments hair colour eye colour shoe size ect. I asked everyone to pick 4 models in order of first choice second choice and so on. Arranged these girls by availabilty across the three days two to each day so one can change whilst another is photographed and with help from a couple of other girls split them womenswear designers across these days. Boss were really helpful and each model cost £100 student rate for the whole day which isnt bad at all and only worked out at £28 per person to pay. Luckily we had the money we raised in an account to book the models immediately and could transfer this money back into the account. I think most people were happy that i organised it and i felt so much better for having sorted it and no need to worry. Hair isnt fully sorte but we have been told a few peoples friends who are hairdressers will do it for free. This week i alo contacted the cassie lomas make up acadamy in manchester. After a few calls they have said they can send two make up artists per day for the full day free of charge as they are doing it for the experience and we can give them the photographs. I found whilst organising this i really enjoyed it and dont know wetaher it would be worth considering this when i apply for jobs wheather i would be interested in the organisational side of things like helping to organise runway shows.
