The Picture Was Important: The script is almost indispensable to picture-story creation, as all editors and photographers have learned long since. The script is almost as important to a still photographer doing a picture story as it is to a movie director shooting a feature picture. Here are some of the advantages of shooting to a script:
1. The story is given a plot, a plan, a cohesion, an organization. This can make the difference between selling it for a good price and not selling it at all.
2. The photographer will not omit any of the pictures illustrating important points in the story. He will use the • script as a check list, and leave his mind free to concentrate on one picture at a time.
The picture was important because it constituted legal evidence. My would-be client didn't want to take a chance on entrusting this picture to just any photographer, because he was afraid the picture might be muffed.
I turned down the job for two reasons: first because I don't want my Camera to embarrass any woman and second because I didn't want to be dragged into court as a witness in the divorce case.
Now, the most important part of such brochures would be eye-catching pictures of beautiful children caught in appealing poses, as samples of your work. Also, you should include a picture of yourself and, if your equipment is especially good, a picture of your facilities. |
