Hi Alicia! Just catching up and, as always, enjoying how detailed you make your weekly accounts. Thank you :) It's funny how much little things can resonate and feel helpful.
One quick question I have is, where can we see the job board?
Glad it's helpful! The Job Board is a bit dormant at the moment as I'm struggling to find the time to do outreach to photographers/brands to get more on there. I'll make sure I post on the Chat if there are any updates though. It's also only available for paid subscribers :) x
Love your diary (as always). I’m hiring an Aputure 600 for a job in couple of weeks and I’ve never used continuous lights. Any suggestions tips on what a nice set up is would be great? Or do you just point directly at the subject? Xx
Thank you! I love the 600x which is bi-colour so you can change kelvin to be as warm or cool as you like (i’m married to a lighting designer so kelvin are a big part of my life…). It comes with such great attachments like barn doors, fresnel etc for directionate light but you can also out a lantern on it which creates such a nice soft mellow light which you can aim at the ceiling to bounce some ‘fill’ around the room or aim towards the subject for something stronger / with higher contrast x
I just love these Diaries! Your openness about the highs and lows on a daily (and sometimes hourly) basis as a photographer is soooo refreshing. Thank you! ❤️
