I can take a half decent image with my iPhone… but if you want a proper job doing then you need to call in a professional.
Jamie Beard arrived in The Snap Wagon. A silver Toyota Hilux Hardtop Pickup. Halfway between a workshop, camera store and mobile command centre. Which Jamie then starts pulling equipment out of like a conjurer removing props from a magic box.
You might think you’re in for a lengthy ordeal with all this kit. Not a bit of it. Jamie moves fast and sets up like someone needing to catch a one-time shot. Which he has obviously done before. News stuff. Combat zones. Public order events.
Our satellite cleanroom must be comparatively straightforward. The satellites don’t move. Our engineers do. But we can work around that until they relax and forget the camera is there.
Nothing special appeared to be happening most of the time. But then you later see a shot that makes someone look 120% better than they have any right to.
He’ll have to take some shots of me next time.
