Today I have had a bit of an amusing experience, we are on an American Airbase it's huge with Apache helicopters stationed here and hangers with god knows what in and it has it's very own American collage; home of the American football team the Ansbach Cougars!! When on base you are subject to American law and everything looks American from the cars to the shops, it's a bit bizarre. But the thing that got me the most was the collage, watching American high school tv shows like Saved by the Bell or the Fresh Prince you would think how the collages are portrayed are exaggerated.....well there not!! It really is just like on TV girls walking around with team colours on for Ansbach Cougars, cheerleaders, people with those American team jackets on and people hanging about around lockers while the quarterback strolls down the corridor and girls giggle and whisper at the school heartthrob!!! It really made me laugh, but the American accent all day does get annoying!!
My job was to photograph the 12th graders in there cap and gowns, drapes and tucs, basically each kid has 3 pics each one in a different pose and outfit. I really was left to it again not having a clue on poses size of the head shots etc plus trying to make each one look good ie hair in place, collars down, bow tie straight etc but I got through and was confident after an hour or so, it was the hardest day yet non stop shooting from 8 till 3!!!
