The fortunate side of business
I got both insurance quotes back yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost. One was about $500 a year and the other was just over $600 a year. Now I need to get an accurate inventory and get the final quote so I can be in business. The higher priced quote had a more detailed quote request so I need to be able to provide both companies with the same info to be able to do an accurate comparison. Then I will sign and fax.
Getting insurance will let me breath a little easier during shoots. Especially when I start to to corporate gigs as well as try to network my way into some sporting facilities. But my ultimate goal is to start producing my own shoots. Doing large style images is something that really gets my mind into high gear.
I want to be able to have a story board or a sketch of my idea. I will gather talent (makeup, hair, wardrobe) and approach a city, or company with my idea. As one example would be to have a model in a activity centered wardrobe performing something (just as an example, it can be cutting up fish, or reading a magazine or acting like a dentist working on teeth). I want to be able to have police shut down streets/bridges, or companies like a foundry or steel mill be working in the background. So you have this WAY OUT OF PLACE activity happening with a busy industrial event going on in the background. I also want to be able to take FORMAL portraits in very unexpected places. Middle of the street. Tops of buildings. Places that the subject has a connection to, but in most circumstances, would never have a portraits taken there. The catch is that these are FORMAL portraits. Something that I have much to learn about. Formal portraits are all about two things. Posing and lighting. Those are two things I have very little knowledge with. I can light and I can pose. But a timeless picture from a good picture is in the subtle details.
