A company here makes custom steel stove hoods and furniture, etc. They're looking for a photographer - enter ME. :) They have their own photo equipment that I'd use (canon digital SLR's). No idea what I'd get paid, but hey, who cares!? :) Any advice for photos of interiors, kitchens, etc? Any ideas where I can read up on this specific type of job? As always, thanks in advance.

At this point I'm just excited that someone saw my work and thought I was good enough to hire. The money is just gravey for me - I don't need it and would probably do the work for free just to build a portfolio and for a chance to use the better equipment. > > Any advice for photos of interiors, kitchens, etc?

Just interiors. A ladder is a GREAT idea. I have some ideas, and I've seen the work from their previous photographer (rather uninspired in my opinion). Still, it's a good thing I have a "day" job. :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com >>> A company here makes custom steel stove hoods and furniture, etc. >>> They're looking for a photographer - enter ME. :) They have their [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Should what?

You might want to determine what the ambient light will be, might need filters in the case of tungsten or fluorescent. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ...a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Wouldn't a digital camera such as the before-mentioned "canon digital SLR" be able to adjust to such conditions, either thru manual (greycard, pringles lid, etc) or different built-in White Balance settings ? >> One other thought... >> You might want to determine what the ambient light will be, might [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > manual (greycard, pringles lid, etc) or different built-in White > Balance settings ? Yeah, I just don't think digital and my good eye skipped over it when he mentioned the equipment :( -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ...a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

At first glance I thought of your post - why would I need to use a #25 indoors. :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com >> One other thought... >> You might want to determine what the ambient light will be, might [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > manual (greycard, pringles lid, etc) or different built-in White > Balance settings ? Yes I used to do work for a guy, when I worked at a pro-lab...he specialized in that sort of thing. He used to use a tripod...no flash...very long exposure. I could get more details if you would like. He really did a great job. He was one of those really, really, really, really picky customers. I ended up teaching him how to use the equipment, because we would be tied up way too long trying to get his things perfect. He mostly shot construction... from beginning to end. So, at first the pics would be of dirt and foundations... and so on, as construction progressed. In the end, he would take pics of the insides of whatever building was being built. But, on the first ones of the dirt and the foundation, he would drive me crazy with the color of the dirt!!! lol He would shoot at all different times of day, then expect the colors to be completely consistent!! Drove me nuts. Anyway... I got a little off topic, sorry!
