Lights, Camera, Action!



No ... I didn't shoot David Beckham! (photo courtesy of Getty Images). The MLS soccer (football to us Brits)! season came to a close recently, and will not resume for a few months. Rather than relax in LA and spend some of his millions earned this year, he decided he wanted to continue working and training in order to maintain his fitness levels. So ... off he went to Italy to join AC Milan, where he'll continue to train rigorously, even if he doesn't get a game. Kudos to Becks for such a great work ethic!
What's all that got to do with me and photography? .. you may well ask.
Well, if I'm not shooting myself, and have an open schedule, I'm more than happy to assist other photographers. But not just any photographers, I hasten to add. I want to come away from the shoot feeling enriched from the experience, that I have at least learnt one new tip, trick, or technique! Just like Beckham, one of the top players in the world, was quoted as saying, that he feels honoured for the experience to play and train alongside such great talent at AC Milan.
So, in a similar vein, as was last week, I had the opportunity to assist Eileen Escarda, on an advertising shoot for 5 days in Pensacola, Florida. Eileen shoots lifestyle for advertising, commercial and corporate clients worldwide, and is truly a talented artist of her genre!
Check out her work at EscardaPhoto.
