• Join Marc as he meets Bob at his home to go over the creative brief for this assignment.
• Bob shares the gear in his kit for assignment work.
• The constant challenge for digital capture is storing the ever growing body of work. Marc also asks Bob about his approach to a shoot list.
• The first location of the assignment is Beringer Vineyards.
• As Bob and Marc walk the grounds of the vineyard they discuss the importance of capturing images that tell a story.
• Stepping inside, Marc and Bob discuss shooting at the margins of light and how to expose properly.
• Asking for some props, like a candle and glass of wine, Bob sets up a shot with a model posing in the light of a doorway.
• If possible, it helps to spend a full day in a location to explore the changing light and have a greater variety of light possibilities.
• Walking into a space, Bob and Marc take a moment to discuss how Bob visualizes the shots he wants to create in that space, and then sets up for a wine tasting shoot.
• As blue hour approaches, Bob and Marc are back outside waiting for the light to get to just the right amount and color.
• Bob and Marc discuss where Bob finds his inspiration to keep shooting new work.
