Second week

02/28/17

On Sunday (02/26) Kara Cooper had me assist her for a family shoot around 10:30 in the morning until about 12:30 after that we went back to her studio and I helped her finish up with the 20 frames that I helped her with last Saturday for her intimate portraits art show this Thursday (March 2nd) so they could hang properly by wire. Once we got all the frames ready to go for the show we put them in her car to take them to downtown Portland, Club Privata on SW 1st Ave. When we got there we took the images into the building and placed them on the table next to where they are going to be hung for the show. Then we were given a tour of the place to wrap up the day.

I plan on attending her art show from 5:30pm-8pm this Thursday.

First week

02/18/2017

Today I met Kara Cooper at her studio/house to start my internship with her. We introduced ourselves and Kara first told me about herself and her project she has been working on for two years now, she told me what it was about, how she knew all the models in her project and how she got the project started. Kara then showed me her project on her computer to get me comfortable with what she is working on. After looking at her images on the computer, she then had a stack of prints and she needed me to help put them all into frames for her expedition later this month. Once they were all in frames we put them aside for next weekend and Kara showed me how she uses Lightroom and how she edits, saves and organizes all her pictures.
With Kara's current project she is making it into a book, so she also showed me the book styles she was thinking about using, the difference in prices, textures and print for each book and on her computer she showed me the layout she is working on for the book of how she wants to show her images. It was really helpful to get into all it takes to make your images into a book.
I will be going back to Kara's studio this Saturday (02/25) at 3pm as well as Sunday (02/26) at 10am
