A friend of Lisa is a photographer. And in light of the fact that I would like to improve my skill I asked her if she didn't want to become my mentor. So she agreed, and she's now given me the first assignment.
I could choose between reproducing a picture of Cary Grant with a model of my choice, taking into account costume, lighting, expression and of course his cigarette, or I could walk into any shop in my vicinity and ask the people in it if I could portrait them. The deliverables for the latter mission are three to five black and white pictures that show the occupation and the personality of the subjects.
So I chose the latter. I just contacted three hairdressers near the HP office, and I'm seeing them next Tuesday. In a way this freaked me the hell out. It was hard to ask them in the first place, but now I also have a case of severe performance anxiety.
Not only will the photographer review my work, these three ladies also want copies, and if it's good stuff, they'll want to be using it for their shop.
Yikes.
