Colin Vail Name of Business: Marcy Browe Portrait Photography Profession: Photography Your 1st Period Teacher: Courtney King (Remember to email or text them your plan and hours for the day between 8 and 9am) Contact Person (On Site): Marcy Browe Email: [email protected] Describe your first impressions of the place. The first impressions I had of the photography studio was how neat and decorated the environment was. There was a corner for costumes, makeup, and sort of a beauty area while another chunk of the room was storage for studio lights and a huge white backdrop. The rest of the room was covered in types of furniture such as couches, shelves, and desks; all easily movable and accessible in case needed for a photoshoot as a prop. There was another room covered in crafting and sewing items. Marcy Browe's roommate for the studio space was moving out and for this reason, that room was somewhat messy. Describe what you think a typical work day is like at this site. How big is the site? How many people work there? What is the athmosphere? Business? Business casual? A typical work day would be 5 to 8 hours working with a client either at the studio or at a different location for the photoshoot. The site size really depends on where you are at there can be multiple areas your gonna shoot it all just depends on what you plan beforehand. Two people use to work in the studio commonly but now that the roommate for the studio is moving out, its soon gonna be just one until she finds another roommate to fulfill space. The atmosphere is sorta bright but small. There's not a lot of space so every part of the studio is used and planned for something its clever. The only business going on is if there is a client there which today there wasn't. Either working with a client or just doing work on the computer, usually finding a client. The usual "business" is mostly just working on previous or new clients apart from the actual photography work. What do you think the business's general work policies are (tardiness, absence, etc.)? Considering the business is freelancing I would assume there is no tardiness, absences, rules only consequences to yourself since the entire operation is dependant on the photographer (Marcy). So there are no consequences for tardiness or absence just a loss of profit. Describe the dress code. What does that mean to you? The dress code is very casual although not super comfortable. Just wear long pants and at least a t-shirt or button up. The dress code is more strict for woman, for example, no crop tops for the reason being you sometimes hold your arms up in the air a lot. Same with pants only long pants and if shorts they must be to your knees. Please write a reflection about your Career Day experience. What do you expect the professional world there to be like? The career day went great. When I first got there I got a quick tour of the studio and got to see each section of the studio and what it does. Once we finished the tour we sat down and started discussing the scheduling and my internship project. With the scheduling, Marcy showed me what days we would be doing shoots and where it would be, what time it would be, etc. We then discussed a little bit about the project I will be doing which is going to be working on making a commercial for her business. She showed me her storyboard and told me what she was looking for in an advertisement. I then told her my ideas and what I think we should add to her storyboard. After that, she showed me some of the equipment I may be using and house to use it in case she would need some help. Then she asked me to help her set up a set for her client the next day shes doing a testimony video shoot for. We set up a set in the last half an hour of the day and after that I got picked up. I would say the day was very productive and I learned a lot in the small amount of time she had that day. In what ways do you expect your high school classes and the skills you have learned to apply to this profession? Class: Biology, Humanities, Math Biology For Biology, I would say the main skill that has helped me so far in this profession would be critical thinking. In order to get stuff done in the photography and videography world, you got to be on top of things at all times and cannot slack off or procrastinate. You gotta know all the details, times, and plan things out ahead of time in order to receive a successful business. Humanities For Humanities, the main skill that helped me would be analyzing your work. Meaning that usually in humanities you focus on analyzing your writing, project, or type of media your working on constantly in drafts until you decide on your final draft. For this profession, you constantly going back to your camera looking at what you got. Then constantly going back and shooting the shot at the same angle or possibly a different angle because you learned that it may look better than the last one. A lot of drafts in this line of work if you connect the two together. Math For math, I would say I am using collaboration a lot like a huge tool for photography and videography. The reason being is you constantly have to be socializing with clients and people that could be possible clients and also planning a shoot. You also may have to schedule a beauty professional for the clients. In general, you have to be flexible to the people around you in order to be successful in this line of business.
