Being a model ain't all that it's cracked up to be.

Thanks for the reality check. Photography for money rather than fun sure ups the stress level. Just ask any amateur that agrees to do a wedding for the first time!!

This looks like my shoot, except I don't have videographer or sound man around... but hair, makeup, and fashion stylist running around like chicken without their head. lol

Pat, I videotaped weddings back in the late 1980's and early 90's. Of all the work experiences I have ever had, that was by far the most stressful. Everything happens quickly and it happened only once. For instance, what happens if your car breaks down on the way to the wedding? I carried backup equipment for everything. An extra camera, microphones, lights, batteries, tapes just in case there was a problem with any of those things. Back in those days, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. Now working 14-16 hour days seems like a walk in the park. At least if there's a problem, I can shoot a re-take.

Thanks very much for your comments!

It's nice to see this type of shot rather than the finished ad - thanks for posting it.
