Yep, I was originally hired only for photography and makeup... (my MUA quotes her own rates.. and I put it in a package for client). Models client had started to fall off.. and not want to do it at the last min.. so I casted some of my Model Mayhem buddies... . Art Direction was Todd (client).. so.. he really told me "about" what he wanted.. and I basically had to say "I think this would be better without the cheesy prop etc... "

2 days.. 1AM - 10AM 13 images (cover is not shown here).. and I also ended up designing the calender and converting over for commercial print. Calenders will be sold for about $15.00 on the boat (and other locations).

What a great series of powerful images. Very well done.

Now for the nits:
July should be JUL, not JUY. OK, I'm kidding.

Travis, well done, bravo!

Agree completely with Steady, including the 'I wish I had shot this'.

Really fantastic, kudos!

Thank you guys so very much... it's great to know this was a success... it was the first time I was really, REALLY put to the test.. it felt like 2 weddings back to back ..

I really look up to all of you, and to know that "hey, it was a good job" means so much, especially when there is this much work involved from planning the compositions, diagramming all the lighting, casting the models, and then execution and taking command day of. WOW it was an intense rush... and I found out a lot about me too... I learned that I can really take command.. and put on my "poker face" on... it's like I step on stage when I'm on set... and everything just clicks.

I learned that I love every aspect of photography... and that this is what I am going to die doing... (and if I have to lug another beauty dish, with boom and counter weight up another stair case on a cruise ship... I might just die right there... ).

I love this stuff more then anything in the world.. I only wish I could shoot a large production like this ALL the time!!

Wow, they are very nice! I love September. The lighting is very cool and January is a close second. I would really like to see the cover one of these days.
So 20 hours or so of shooting
I would think a couple hours or so in post, layout and design?
Setting up for commercial print.
Saving the client money by not using models, but making them all look like models should be worth something.
Working the night shift!!!
I would say $8000.00 to $10000.00??

January, May, July, and October all get special mention. This must have been a ton of work!!! The lights, backdrops, sets, and everything took a great deal of time, and it turned out very well... I think you've done a great job.

Yea, baby! The man speaks truth here... listen closely.

Start thinking about who else can use the kind of effort and results you've shown here (there are hundreds of 'em within reach). Make a list, figure out your marketing attacks, get moving. This is exactly the kind of thing that can help you close more business... but please note that I said "help you close" not "bring you"!

I hope your agreement with the client includes your continued use of the images for self-promotion. If not, and if they're really happy, ask about it.
