Be able to do.

Hi this is Shoko.  I hope you guys remember me… that I’m still alive.   I would love to show what I’m usually doing in the studio where I work.

Mostly I photograph people works at night (I think I’ve already mentioned that) but it is really good for me because most of nesop people know I DO NOT like to shoot PEOPLE.  I shot some for editorial but I never get used to take a picture of people…  I’m the type of person shooting STILL all the time in studio for more than 4 hours.

So now I’m shooting a person for less than 30 min and quickly I have to retouch their face and give the date to them as soon as possible.  That’s my job.

I read so many books to get the idea for posing. (which I never care.)  It’s amazing the posing makes very different when you photograph each persons.

Sometimes they order shooting one person and get them together. ( like I did for NESOPer project.) within one hour.

One of the Japanese designer has told me that this is a job for designer… that means make me very happy   I always want to be a designer!!!!!!

So now my art director has told me to make a photo menu, business card, the poster and everything that I have to design.  And that makes me sick sometimes, but I love doing those.  Especially photo menu, I can do whatever.  I set up the price for a shoot.  And design fee too.  Very difficult and responsible job for me but I enjoy a lot.

And also I get a job to shoot a location. 

Humm… not really good money right now but I’m pretty satisfied what I do! 

Peace!
