Finale: The End of My Amazing Journey

So The last day we did the shoot. I met everyone I emailed for the shoot. The shoot met a lot of technical issues, such as capture one not working, the hasselblad not functioning correctly, and other technical issues.  I got to assist Aaron in his shoot along with another assistant, Nate. Nate and I talked a lot about the business and how he got to where he was. He taught me so many things about how to get your name out and how to succeed. He was really a cool guy. The make up artist was an awesome girl to hang out with as well as the model (pictured above). They all told me so much about how they came to New York and how easy it is to succeed there. They really encouraged me to move up there and work. Working with Aaron on the shoot was absolutely awesome. I had such a good time with everyone while still learning so much about lighting, concept realization and people skills.

So after me and Nate tore the set down, Aaron had another task for me. A fun one. I was to organize some of his prints for him in a bread cabinet he bought to store them. After I was done he let me keep any of them and even ask him anything about the prints. I learned how he lit it, approached it, shot it, or anything else I wanted to know. A great way to depart from an amazing adventure, by getting a step by step tutorial on how he shot some of his best work. So, we said our goodbyes and Aaron told me how much of a pleasure it was to meet me and work with me. He told me he would love to work with me again, and on that note, perhaps we shall.

I love New York. I will miss it so much. I am so thankful for the opportunities I was presented and given. My last night was just spent celebrating an amazing trip and internship and meeting the most incredible people I've ever known.
