whilst i work very hard at uni i also work as a waitress at a lovely little restaurant. i have been asked to take photos for the restaurant to replace the boring ones it has now. this is such a good opportunity for me and is such a great start.
i researched so much into restaurant photography. i researched techniques for food photography, table photography and interior, i was looking for fresh and keeping away from tacky. i was also researched websites which are in competition with the restaurant i work at.
researching all of this was quite surprising for me, i noticed restaurants don't want to pay for a professional and use self done photography which is quite obviously done with a compact camera and just a flash, and they actually post them to the public! researching this made me feel so much more confidant.
the photoshoot went so well, i have still got behind the scene shots to do but its best to do that after christmas and not when they get annoyed with me in their face with a camera! the photoshoot took a few hours, i didn't realize how self critical i am when their is no need to be.
doing the photoshoot for a well known restaurant and knowing that my name will be on their website and my own images will be on their business cards really pushed my confidence further. this opportunity really makes me feel i am on the right uni course and on the right pathway.
