Disastrous Photoshoot

Billie booked a studio.
Billie was in charge of bringing the make up and the camera. I'd brought the hot shoe and someone had an SD card.
We've pulled down what colour poly we wanted. We picked white to start with. Everything is going great. Everyone is topping up their make up. The aim of today's shoot is to get everyone's selfie challenge done for Sharon.
First problem. We don't have a tripod. Thinking fast we get the Mac stand and put the camera on that. Then we realise that we don't have:
- A Sync Lead
- A Tether Cable
- Tripod
This is really frustrating as we've got all of our kit here but none of the photography stuff we need. I guess it's a learning curve. We were so used to coming into a session with Chris and having everything that we need that we took this for granted.
After a slight meltdown and one can of coke over the floor later a random man comes in and tells us that we're not supposed to be in here at this time without an assistant. We didn't know this. We weren't told this when we booked it. No one phoned us to tell us that we couldn't use this.
To top of the end of this session just as the man finished his safety speech, the modelling bulb in the big boom went. At this point we decided to call it quits.
I think that today's experience has proven to be a really important lesson.
I've never made this mistake since this studio time. I've always made sure I've had everything I've needed.
