Travelling light

This week's post comes to you from 30,000 feet. It's been a week of hopping on and off aircraft with more to come! It's a lot of fun, but logistically quite challenging with all the packing/unpacking of gear. It's extremely hard to stay within the weight allowance and not be convinced you've left a vital piece of equipment behind that you're bound to need!

Earlier in the week I had a great two day shoot in Wellington with my good friend Dag from Platform29. A busy shot list saw us shooting in large open plan building interiors, intimate restaurant settings and dark alleys at night! Never a dull moment with Dag! It was a great mix of photography and problem solving with small flashes for speed and portability. Even the Wellington weather, which had promised gales and rain, decided to do an about turn and give us blue skies on the second day. Love it when a plan comes together.

Next week will be a full on seven day road trip covering 1,500 kms to get a variety of retail store shots for a client. I'm hoping the weather gods will smile on me again so I can squeeze in some landscape shots along the way. Well it would be rude not to!
