Alyssa volunteered me to do headshots of all the kids going on the Russia Tour (choir, strings and band). It was an overnight request so I had to rush and get all the equipment together. I also did some testing since I hadn't used the strobes for quite a while. I got them all into a big plastic container, my carry-on bag and then had to just lug the stands any way I could. It was a bit tiring and when the majority of the kids came it was shot after shot after shot. The best part of the shoot was after everyone was finished and the kids started to mess around in the front of the camera. That was fun. PP wasn't. I shot the kids wide since I didn't know what kind of pictures they wanted and then provided the originals and a closely cropped version. It turned out that they wanted the cropped version which was also my preference. Later on I provided a square format which I really like but don't think will be used. This was more interesting and educational than the birthday party. I am looking forward to doing more portraiture.
