New tasks as a photographer companion
It's been more than half a year since I was allowed to start again at Photogenika after passing my final exam and a short break from traveling – this time as a
companion photographer.What has changed since then? Of course, a bit more responsibility has been added, a few new tasks and also three lovely new colleagues 🙂 For me, however, the biggest change is that as a fully trained photographer, in addition to studio photography, I am now also working independently on location.
Our photography outside the studio
This includes, on the one hand, private shootings such as outdoors
Portrait Photos, family pictures at home in the context of a
Home Story or family celebrations such as birthdays or baptisms. On the other hand, we also provide support for our business customers
corporate events and create employee pictures or even a whole one
company portrait, which is used for the website or printed advertising material.
The challenge on location
These assignments outside the photo studio are particularly exciting for me because each one is full of new challenges. You have to familiarize yourself with the location and the available light as quickly as possible and have the program clearly in mind. Furthermore, you always work in consultation with the organizers, the family, the pastor, and often with other people such as videographers, which requires mutual consideration. During my apprenticeship, I therefore learned everything as an assistant about handling difficult photographic situations, the necessary equipment, and the entire process from preparation to post-processing. Of course, we are highly focused on our work at every assignment and always strive for the optimal composition for our subject, but we also get to experience the lectures, celebrations, church services, or concerts and meet many wonderful people. Below you will find a few pictures from the recent events I had the pleasure of photographing. Enjoy! Sincerely, Ellena P.S.: For those who are truly interested, we have details and descriptions of the content and requirements for...
the education and the profession of the photographer collected.
