CONCLUSION
So yes a massive photo shoot like the Fanatic/North gig is a shed load of very hard work and aside from the fun part of actually taking the shots there are countless number of hours on the dreaded computer editing. But everything said and done, the shoot can be a major adrenaline buzz, amazing fun, and a privilege to be working with world class athletes and of course you are being paid for it! The Fanatic/ North Team are really a great bunch of girls and guys and over the years we have all become close friends which makes the whole work side of things far more enjoyable. There are always a few beers floating around at the end of the day and some moments you just have to stop and laugh even when a plan does not work out. When it is all over and a brand seems happy with the results you can heave a huge sigh of relief but also look back on where improvements can be made and hopefully do an even better job the following year. I don’t like to ever say, that was my best; there is always room for new ideas, angles and better quality; photography is one of those mediums where perfection is impossible! – a bit like windsurfing but it’s that same sense of challenge that fuels the passion for my work.
