Ada Lindqvist / The day

How a shoot day runs.

01

The recce

A walk round the week before with a notebook and a compass. I work out where the light falls at nine and at four, and what has to move.


02

The day

First light to last, one place, one day. You see a contact sheet that evening, so nothing that matters is left unshot.


03

The edit and the files

Proofs inside three days, retouched files inside a week, sized for print and the web, with the usage licence written down.

Weather moves a date, never the price. If the light is wrong on the day, we pick another one together.
