ART Scored an interview with a studio.

[The Cable Guy]

So I was on craigslist the other week looking for a new job. So I came across a "Amateur photographer wanted" ad. Turns out they specialize in baby photos, and in-hospital newborn photography.

I applied last week, and just got a call back! I'm excited since its photo-related.

All equipment provided by the company (I hope they shoot Nikon)

The corporate office is local, the service area is local as well.

Compensation is double my current wage.

is it one of those gay mall places?

Those fake tittahs bouncing in your face this weekend must have messed up your ability to read.

It probably did. Not kidding. Plus im on 3 hours of sleep thanks to US Air fucking up last night.

I'm surprised im able to make business decisions today. I'm all kinds of thrown off.

We had our third kid last year. The photographer that came to the hospital used a D90 with either the 18-105 or 18-135 - I can't remember which - and an SB600. She seemed to have basic skills, like bouncing the flash off the ceiling or a wall. She got a couple of good shots.

The same company took pics of the first two (2005 and 2007, same hospital for all three.) But with the first two they wheeled in rigs with a Kodak P&S suspended over a crib.

Aren't flashes really bad for newborns eyes?

Congrats on the gig. Good luck!

Funny, that's my gear!

But the company does provide equipment, so I'm curious. INterview tomorrow!

no problem with flash and newborns.... both of my boys have had flashes shoved in their faces since they were just days old and both have perfect vision. a flash can at times startle a baby though, but I've never seen it happen.

Gotcha. Guess it was an old wives tale I bought. Thanks for the info.

I don't have any references to post, but it's been proven that there are no adverse effects from flashes and newborn eyes. Unless you decide to shove them in their face and hit the flash button over and over, but that would affect anyone's eyes.

we asked our pediatrician about it, and she said something along the lines of, babies stare at the sun from time to time, if they can do that and not go blind, I see no reason why a flash would hurt them

little things can't even see more than a foot in front of them when they are born. I dont see why a flash would be bad for them.

Just had the interview. Went pretty good.

Their kit is very minimal. D90 + ? Lens. Off camera strobes, and backdrops.

Stuff I'm all comfortable and familiar with.

Sounds like a good gig. One weekly office meeting, the rest you can plan your own day around your schedule. I can easily double my current income if I get hired. Will find out in 2 days.

Backdrops in a hospital?

 

[The Cable Guy]

Backdrops in a hospital?

Should have clarified. My bad. The majority of the clients have the pictures taken in their home, rather than the hospital. The latter is just one option they offer I guess.

 

[jigelow]

Right on. Sounds like it went well. Congrats!
