for my group shot i was going to be shooting the fyshwick fire brigade, i was hoping to get all of my shots done inside because the weather isn't going to be to crash hot on Friday apparently,and as well if i get to use a truck i was i think it might be easier to light it inside. this is the email i sent to them

Hi my name is Alex Hogg

I’m from Canberra Institute of Technology and am currently studying an Advanced Diploma of Photography. We have an assignment where we are to photograph 2 group corporate shots and after talking to my teachers they are allowing me to shoot the Fyshwick fire brigade.

Requirements:

- 2 photographs, 1 formal and one less formal.

-both shots can be done inside or outside, whatever is easiest

- For the formal photo I was hoping to have 6 people standing inside and in a row, looking at camera with simple facial expressions.

- And the less formal photo I was thinking the group could be looking off camera, talking, laughing and with a bit more of a

creative back ground. If it wasn’t to much of a hassle and if i wasn’t taking up to much space i was going to ask if i would be able to use a trucks in one of my shot?

I’m going to be using 3 mono block lights (portable flash units) that require a power point. They take roughly around 15 minutes to set up, and they are easy to move around. So all up it shouldn’t take any longer than 40 minutes, I would come their 30 minutes prior to set up all the lights.

For locations i was going to come in tomorrow to find some spots that are not to in the way and wont bother anyone, with a power point available.

I am more than happy to give the station a copy of my images and a mounted foam

core print to hang as a thank you for letting

me take up some of your time.

If their any quires you can call me on my mobile: 0421085450

Kind regards Alex

the ideas i had sketched up in my book 

so overall the shoot went prity bad, little things that kept happening. like i ended up nocking over some guys cup of tea, i was pouring in sweat because i was freaking out the whole time. I knew the photos went bad and as soon as i left and had a look a them....... o boy they where really bad. my formal group shot went alright but my creative shot..... eeek. after showing Belinda and talking it over with her she thought i should deferentially re shoot. so i went back to the station and talked it over with the boss and he said it was alright but only if i do it quickly because they have training on. o man iv never done anything so scary in my life, but i think i should be alright to do this reshoot because i have a good idea in my head of what to do and i know what to expect. its something you try to prepare for but boy o boy its such a shock

some of the shots i got from the first shoot shoot 

  

 this was me formal shot (unedited) this is the only half decent image i got from the night
