How to shoot a camel ... in Belarus. The story of one workshop.

Send

On January 14, our most incredible and most cinema workshop took place. It was nice to see the animation and the burning eyes of the participants on the site, to realize that all efforts are necessary and in vain ...
But ... a little background. This workshop I and Alesya Salangina, my administrator and assistant, had planned for a long time: we picked up models, sewed clothes, gathered most of the group, came up with a plot ... It was supposed to be a magical story with a reindeer ... And suddenly, five days before the appointed date, we find out that there is no more deer in Belarus !!!

What to do? We could not offer the participants any simple shooting - since we promised something like that, we have to do it. I had to start all over from scratch. Long discussions, sleepless night, a couple of good friends - and now we have a worthy idea!

And then again: the search for models, clothes, accessories, the place of shooting, and time is running out. What interesting places were we not in search of suitable outfits for these four days! And here is Saturday, shoot tomorrow, we managed, everything is ready, everything is magical, everything turns out. But no ... 14 hours before the shoot (and it's 9pm !!!) we will find out that the model was very sick !!!

But our models are the best and most responsible - Anna quickly found herself a worthy replacement and did not leave, did not let us down! But all this is behind the scenes, and in the frame we have a very touching story about a mother who, after years, finds her missing daughter, are ideal models, perfect looks, perfect colors - and all this very soon I will show you in my photo stories.
