The One & Only Assignment of July
After three weeks' break from photography, I finally got the one and only assignment for the month of July. Got a soft box from an online store last month and had not had the opportunity to test it out.
That morning, I was woken up by sound of raindrops tapping on my window. My first thought was: there goes my Sunday morning shoot. Got up as planned and went to the coffee shop to take my breakfast while I waited for my friend to pick me up. By the time we finished our breakfast, the rain had stopped and we drove to meet the model.
We were early and decided to drive around to hunt for a suitable location for the shoot. The model had requested for this shoot to be in "Dark Theme", and we decided to look for an abandoned place. We were lucky enough to find one near the meeting place.
This shoot went well and ended at around noon.
*Something has been frustrating me these days as I've heard that someone with the same namesake as me has been deceiving young girls by using photography as a cover. I've heard about this matter quite sometime ago, but I now feel the urgent need to speak up about it as I've now been mistaken as him. I would like to advise young girls aspiring to go into modelling, be it as a career or just a part time job to earn extra income to know their rights and not fall into the traps set by people with ulterior motives. Learn to say "NO" to ridiculous demands or if you feel uncomfortable. No decent photographer would ask you to anything uncomfortable or lewd.
