Got a commission

Just had a phone call and it was a lady who owns a beauticians near me. I have photographed brides there and she wants me to take some pics of her salon for her website.

Now this is new to me [which i told her] but it is quite exciting and could lead to other work as well.

so thumbs up for me and a good start to 2009.

any tips greatly received.

Good luck, hope it all goes well

Crappy lighting will probably be the worse problemYou have some lights etc don't you? Let us know how it goes.

Tip: try to get interesting angles, use her brand for guidelines

Take a wide angle lens because of confined space or take several overlapping pics and stitch. I have done a shoot at a wedding reception on behalf of the hall owner for a promo.

Even though it was in a hall and I used a wide angle lens (Nikon 12-24mm) it still needed 3/4 photos stitched together to get the width.You may also find the owner can't make up their mind if they want staff in the shoot or not, if I may suggest taking with and without staff and let the client choose.
