Ok, so for those of you who don't know, I am interning in London with Ashley Cameron for 8 weeks. I have only been there for around 4 days, but already I have been able to experience his crazy life as a photographer, and it has been great. Saturday, we did a huge shoot for the Sun, a paper here in London. It involved many models in a "party" scene, and included page 3 girls (the bikini girls) It was a crazy experience to be at a shoot like that. I think I acted like a deer in headlights sometimes. There were 6 models there that had been hired from a modeling agency, and many friends came out to get paid to do it, and guess who got put in the crowd as well? The assistants! Thankfully Richard was there assisting with me, because he has experience. In the end, after Ashley and the art director Martin spent all day Sunday (until 4am) editing this ad, it turned out great. It is going to be a 4-page spread, that was sent off to the printers today. Because of the size of the cell phone the party is on, he only used 12 people, so most of us were taken out, but here are some cool shots from the shoot. We rented a studio and lights. Ashley and I shot the papers and cut each of them out on Friday night. It was a huge project, that really only began to happen the day before the shoot. Tomorrow we are doing a shoot on one of England's beaches...it should be fun. Wednesday is a shoot at the National Museum of Natural History. I will update how those shoots went as well.

Christy, this is awesome! Sounds like things are going well over there, already. So far I had only heard something vague about a dog and a tv. (?!) Thanks for posting these so soon for those of us trying to learn vicariously. Cheers!
