This photoshoot only lasted about two hours, which is a bit rushed for me. I wish we could've had more time on the property but we leave when 'the security' leaves. And one thing I know about security types, they don't give a shit about photography. They just want to go home.
This is what we call the "money shot'. Most of our time was spent staging this scene with lighting then shooting multiple exposures while the green house opened and closed several times. These greenhouses are 100% computer controlled, they detect moisture levels and run a cannabis atomic clock, of sorts, that allows these plants to thrive.
That's me! I was having a chat with the guy doing security, but you can see a little 'behind the scene' action showing the camera placement in the space.
With the little time we had left we were able to run around and shoot some architectural details.
The goal is to try and capture the feeling of the space with just a few images.
We try and collect a good selection of vertical and horizontal images. When it comes to a specific type of marketing we don't want our client to be limited.
These last few images are taken from the outside. Really quick I wanted to share this thought... people are ripping grapes out to grow cannabis. That's fascinating to me.
The security guard needed to leave but I wish we could have stayed and messed around with lighting and longer exposures. To get the greenhouses opening under the stars would have been amazing. Maybe I can inspire someone else to try it.
Cheers!
