This morning I found myself taking photographs of a chair…a fairly unsual thing to be doing for a people photographer like myself.
So you may be asking why was I photographing this chair – is it some how a special chair?
No there is nothing at all special about the chair…I was actually photographing some new flooring that I have recently bought to see how well it blends with the white paper bacground when it comes to editing.
I would much rather have photographed a person, it’s more fun and it’s certainly a more useful test for a portrait photographer like myself.
There are many situations when a ‘test shoot’ is needed
A test shoot can mean various things, it could mean;
- I have a piece of equipment, or technique that I want to test.
- It could be that I have a commercial job coming up and I want do to a test run on.
- It could mean I have a personal project that I’m working on.
- It could mean I need some new images for my portfolio.
- It could simply be I’ve had a last minute cancellation and want to use the time to do one of the above or just something fun.
If you’d be interested in taking part in a test shoot usually in exchange for a copy of the final image(s) for your time then please fill out the form and I’ll drop you a line with an invite if/when something comes up.
If you have a great idea for something you think I might want to collaborate on you can pitch it to me at the end of the form.
The form is pretty straight forward and should take you just a couple of minutes.
