What Are The Chances?

[KTH]

Q. What are the chances for someone working as an in-house counsel to be asked by the company to take photos of a model that the company has booked for its ads?

A. Don’t know, but it happened yesterday.

I work as an in-house counsel for a small company that wants some photos for its ads/web page. For that, the company booked a model for a photo shoot, scheduled for yesterday afternoon.

Either through bad planning or by pure chances, the person in charge of the photo/graphic/ads department was out on maternity/paternity leave. That left the company with a Fuji S1, a Nikon N60, two $70 Quantaray lenses, and three people who has some knowledge (but not much) about photography – the owner’s daughter, a computer programmer, and myself. I brought my Fuji S2 and bag of lenses. We took turn to take the photos, and the rest is … well … not exactly history … not exactly great. They are ok.

I will try to post a few photos from the shoot once I figure out how.

Very nice shots. But do some retouching: 1) the rash on her arm and 2) to hide the fact she's wearing a wig.

Cheers!

S_Leeper,

He is indeed nice. However, as you have already known, there is no such thing as a free lunch. I made numerous court appearances on his brothers' behalf, free of charge.

You've got a real nice friend, perhaps!!!

Janee & Reginald,

I had fun, but not too much. I was constantly worried about how the photos would turn out.

The advices are well taken. The rash is nasty, and she looks much better without the wig.
