Rest! (ish)

Finally a day off! Feel like I havent stopped in weeks so it's great to wake up and just be sat here editing and what not. I know i'll be sick of it by the end of the day though haha.
So yesterday I shot Dylan, a local close up magician. I was suffering from fatigue most of the day so it was very difficult for me to sort of focus and keep every shot creative. However, we still managed to get some cracking shots and it was very interesting to talk to Dylan about what he does, magic/performance has always interested me - partly because the thought of performing infront of large groups of people scares the living day lights out of me. Regardless it was great to hear what it's like being on stage in front of people and performing. It sounds very different to how bands/musicians feel when their on stage, not being biased but being an entertainer and performing infront of people sounds alot more terrifying.
So we started with a few studio shots and then went over to some local woods to shoot a few unusual shots. This eventually turned into a total hike, poor dylan was walking through woods (not just woods - this was like a jungle) in a full suit so I want to openly apologize for that. However, we found a nice little place to shoot - it wasn't exactly where I had in mind, but it certainly worked and in some shots - I think it worked out better than my original ideas.
As for my home studio - it's getting a revamp over the coming weeks. We're investing ALOT of money on doing it up so it's all nice and shiney and looks abit more professional, also trying to get some new kit for the studio but I'm not sure if the budget will allow for that yet so we'll wait and see.
Anyway - there's work to be done, doubt I'll update here for a few days as there's not much to talk about as the next few days are mainly just editing. Stay tuned for some updates on the portfolio though, definitely have a lot of shots I wanna upload and share with everyone!
