Last week I landed my first professional commission and am about to do the first of 2 photo shoots. So what's the story then? Well I was recommended by a work colleague to a photo agency who are updating the images of a national cinema chain. My task is to get new images for 3 of their establishments in Scotland. On the face of it, fairly simple. But I have to tell you the game changes quite significantly when you are shooting to order, shooting to produce what the client wants - not what takes your fancy.

So I've read the brief, looked at examples of the type of images they are after, spoken to the staffs at the places I'm going, checked my kit. The big mission is on for tomorrow.

I'll tell you how I got on when it is all done and dusted.
