The best part of working at an in-house design department for a company is that you got to be one of the “cool kids”, it is kind of accepted, if not expected that while everyone else wears heels and skirts, the cool kids at the design department wears trainers and jeans. California Baby is very casual though, and no one wears heels and skirt, but when I came to work this morning, everyone was dressed up and super styled. I had totally forgotten that there was gonna be a photo shoot around the California Baby HQ and that we were gonna be featured on Next New Networks.
An hour before the shoot, I was assigned to do still photography while they were filming. Not a big deal, I have done it before and am kind of used to the deals and rules on when to and when not to shoot while they are filming. But, I wished they would have told me that I was gonna do stills so I could have brought my own camera to work. Now I was stuck with the compact point and shoot camera we have at work.
We finished the shoot 30 minutes before I was supposed to clock out for the day, and they wanted the stills sent out to the PR person at work before the end of the day. Great, I had 30 minutes to narrow down and edit 200 photos.
I am so used to shooting RAW now as well where you have total control over the image in photoshop where you easily can adjust colors and white balance etc. Today I was shooting jpegs and it takes a little longer and to edit the photos.
I was done and left work at 5:05pm though!
