How long can you last?
Longest shoot a little over 11 hours with a food break. It was for a friend that did makeup for me for about 5 years. She was only 5'5" and did not want to model because she thought she was too short. We shot some in the studio, went on location to the local mall, then went to the beach, and back to the studio. Took a little over 700 shots put together a portfolio and she is currently with one of the largest agencies in the country. Was it worth my time? Absolutely. Did I take too many pictures? Hell no. Could I have done it with less? Probably but why. It was high energy shoot from start to finish. Dec 15 05 01:15 pm Link I myself am wondering how many motor drives that fellow goes through in a year. 6000 shots in 10 hours is 600 shots an hour or ten shots *per minute,* assuming no breaks at all! It would take two assistants just to keep him loaded. If he uses digital, just substitute "cameras" for "motor drives." Actually, use "cameras" for both of them. 6000 frames is 5 to 10 percent of the MTBF for a camera shutter in most cameras, I should think. My average shoot is 2-3 hours and yields 150-250 photographs. I find that that number keeps going down (my last shoot, which I told a funny story about on the boards, yielded exactly 64 pictures) but that my number of "keepers" is staying about the same. My longest shoot was about five hours and involved three models and a PA. I took about 400 pictures, but there was a dinner break, three location changes, and rather long makeup breaks.

Dec 15 05 03:57 pm Link How long? Well, how many models do you have? And how much rope? Dec 16 05 12:25 pm Link Why would someone even need 6000 pictures lol My longest shoot was 6 hours but I dont do that anymore for TFCD. Now if it's a TFCD shoot I will only do no more then 4 hours if it's paid then I don't care as long as it's reasonable. Dec 16 05 04:48 pm Link 6000 images? At some point they may need to serious consider video to get what they really want. -Jose Dec 16 05 05:18 pm Link Thomas B wrote: HA HA HA LOL Dec 16 05 05:23 pm Link Melvin Moten Jr wrote: You need to come to FetishCon next year!
