art director/nellie schmitz | |
OBJECTIVE | to increase convention bookings |
- Did casting from actual staff
- Matched strobes to existing light
- Shoot was scheduled by client for Monday - discovered that hotel food was not restocked after weekend. Stylist purchases all needed fruits and vegetables from local market and pulled together styling in two hours
- Added martini liquid pouring from shaker in Photoshop
- Buffet featured resort's head chef who quit the evening after the photo was taken - avoided costly re-shoot by replacing his face with a composite of other faces
