[open log] the sound of water makes her dream, awoken by a cloud of steam
Who: Yako Katsuragi, NPP members and whoever else Yako's drafted into this endeavor...?! Random bystanders are welcome, too.
When: July 9-July 14th. Just... vaguely wave at the dates for whatever's convenient, really. v(O_o)v
Where: Variously: the Newcomer Community Center, Kahve, Violet Systems, Funtom Toys & Sweets, Sector Zero, Wright & Co Offices, and out and around the city.
Summary: Taking photographs of people was straightforward enough, or so Yako figured. How hard can it be?
Warnings: Shenanigans?!
Just how much equipment did you need to take a decent photo? Yako had always thought it was just a matter of point and shoot. But apparently there were things like lights and reflectors and who-knew-what-else to take into account, and here she was without a car to ferry them around in or even the budget to rent them out.
So. Time to be more creative.
Lamps stripped of their lampshades were rigged up as lights to illuminate even the darkest corners of plain interiors; bystanders were cajoled into holding illustration boards up (or the other way around) to reflect or absorb light as necessary. Little else in the way of equipment or posing was required, and the 'models' were encouraged to act as normal as possible. Then again, having said that... it was easier said than done.
After all, no one could ever act naturally in front of a camera's lens, could they?
[ prose and action are more than welcome; posts will be divvy'd up by location below. indicated open/closed threads as necessary!
don't worry about uh... being srs business about the photo-taking bit, this is mostly goofing-around and CR-buildng shenanigans aside from actual photo-taking. if you don't want your character being a part of the actual shot but still want them around, feel free to have them be holding idek reflectors and lights or something.
henry townshend and ritsuka aoyagi are our resident photographers, so they can tag in wherever they... please?
just to clarify, this isn't a pinuppy calendar shoot! it's just... a normal one, idek. people are free to pick out their own outfits and the like. ]
