i.k. stands for intern kaylie

During the seven week break I worked as a Photography and Design intern at Orbit Irrigation. It was such a great learning experience. As I worked there I helped out on mist video shoots. My first day on the job one of my first assignments was to go get a manicure. I was a hand model for the instruction shots.
Blaire Kunz is the professional photographer for orbit. He photographs the beauty shots for the main pictures of the packaging shots. He told me about his photography experience in New York. He was working pretty much twenty four seven. Since he was starting out he worked under a professional and shot weddings every weekend. I learned that success takes so much hard work.
Spring semester 2013 I took the class Studio Photography from Brother Brown. Brother Brown would always tell us about the real world of photography. He would always say "If it will go wrong it will". I always just figured Brother Brown was just a pessimist, but then I learned it really was true. We need to be prepared and plan ahead.
An entire day was spent getting beauty shots of two of the homes. Mist is very hard to capture. Brother Brown always said "get it right in the camera" that really was ingrained in me that semester. We couldn't get the mist to show up in photo's the first day so we had to go back the next day. We planned the day we were supposed to get things done. No photographer is perfect. None. No one in this world is perfect. No matter how long we've been doing photography we'll still find things that need improvement. We planned and went back the next day and the right shots were taken. If we would have been ready two hours earlier the first day the timing would have been right.
It was a great learning experience. I'll be making more posts about working at Orbit in the summer. I'm working back at Orbit now. Today was my first day back.
