Several weeks ago, I got a call from a friend of mine who wanted me to help on a corporate office shoot. With a days notice, I took off and was out with\u00a0+pete collins<\/a> setting up to shoot the folks over at\u00a0+Socius Marketing<\/a> . Such a great group of people that are based in#Tampa<\/a> – its one of the fastest growing companies here in Tampa bay.
\nIn the middle of the corporate group shot, I thought to myself “If I were a writer in a company full of other writers.. I could think of nothing cooler than to get into a paper fight!” I saw this picture of all of these guys whipping balls and paper airplanes at one another while the heads of the company just looked around with a “Jeesh.. what did we get ourselves into” kinda vibe. Now.. that’s what I woud’ve\u00a0wanted<\/em>, but thats not what I was there to do.<\/p>\n

As we were setting up the shoot, i offered my suggestion for a fun pic. I figured we could get a pack of paper make some balls.. and give it three or four throws. . thats it. All lights were set, and off we went with the shoot.<\/p>\n

I proceeded to finish the shoot, process it.. and send it back to Socius. That night of the shoot, I had run home and worked on this file.. but then didn’t do anything with it. In the end, this was\u00a0my<\/em> take on the event.. not what I was hired for..<\/p>\n

As it turns out, I got a call from Stacy at Socius, asking for a specific file. In the middle of the email convo, I said “You know what? I dont think I showed her this file.. lemme send it.. ” As it turns out, it was one of her favorites, her immediately shooting it around the office. She even talked about using it as part of a Christmas card. She called it “Florida Snow!” which I thought was hilarious..<\/p>\n

The Lesson Of The Day<\/strong>
\nWhen you are a\u00a0#Photographer<\/a> – your job\u00a0may<\/em> be to do what you are contracted to do. Never lose sight, however, on the fact that a person may hire you for your\u00a0vision<\/em> as much as your technicality. In a world where it’s becoming easier and easier to do this.. it’s those that take a deep gulp, step forward, and present their\u00a0voice<\/em> in the conversation that will get the win.. Take a moment.. take a deep breath.. and suggest your idea.. you would be so surprised.. they may like it..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several weeks ago, I got a call from a friend of mine who wanted me to help on…","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2139","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-blog","7":"cs-entry"},"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2139"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2139"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2139\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2141,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2139\/revisions\/2141"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aboutrc.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
