Shambles.

So last night I had to shoot this event that was on at the college, Which involved 8 schools using there art and design classes to create shoes out of all sorts of stuff. and they would get entered into a competition run by Schuh, the shoe store, and this was where the announced the winners. There were 4 of us doing it, and we were required to shoot all 8 schools as a group in the studio, a montage of photographs of the different shoes, a photo of every winner going up and getting there certificate, and a group of 35 at the end. This was far from easy, we were sitting about until half 6, when it had been dead for hours, then all of a sudden everyone turned up at ones, which meant we had about half an hour to get 8 schools in and out of the studio. Impossible, Myself and Ross managed to get 2, but then i had to leave as they were starting and had to get some shots of some men in suits making speaches, riviting stuff. In the end we only ended up getting 6 schools, before they started announcing prizes, and with teachers who are unable to shut there mouth for 5 seconds in your ear 24/7 it does not help. So we just set to getting the shots of the winners, when low and behold flash guns start falling right left and center, so we need to start chaning batteries. all the while we can't really get any good shots because the lighting is so bad. and to top it all of, the woman we asked to announce the fact that the 35 winners have to stay behind forgot, so we eneded up with about 20. Not our fault, hers. All in all a very stressfull evening.
