Hey, I am Vanessa

Hi everyone, my name is Vanessa and I am from Germany. I’m going to do my internship at The Light Studios until December this year. I hope to learn as much as possible in photography and video making.

This week we, the interns, shot our first fashion video. Mara plays a girl who isn’t able to find the perfect dress for their second anniversary.

Charlotte plays her best friend who tries to help her but fails.

I have the responsibility for the camera and the editing.

The shoot was during 2 days and we had a really good make-up artist, Shelly Feldman, a talented actor, Diego Barbosa, who played the boyfriend and Thamizh Thendral who played a Clown in our video.

The filming was trouble-free and incredible funny with all that people together.

We shot at Holland Park, Fulham Palace and Oxford Circus.

Here are some expressions:

This and next week I am going to edit the video and upload it as soon as possible.

All the best to you,

Vanessa

fly on the wall at the Savoy

Here I am… an intern at a photo studio on my way to my very first “first class” event at the famous Savoy in central London. As soon as we got off the tube and started walking towards our destination we could already see the huge building. Right next to the Thames, that’s where this enormous luxurious hotel is located. Sounds very fancy huh? Anyways, when we entered the building it felt like entering another world. All these expensive carpets, curtains etc. created a complete different atmosphere. After we got rid of our coats and prepared the cameras, the first guests started arriving at the Savoy. The women were dressed beautifully with stunning dresses and amazing hairstyles. They were accompanied by very handsome looking men in suits. A quartet was playing in the background softly, giving it a magical flair. After a while the room was packed with people and we were taking pictures non-stop. When everyone had arrived at the venue, the people started walking in the big ballroom. We followed them while taking even more pictures. As soon as I entered the massive room, I was literally speechless! It was decorated beautifully with flowers on every table, mirrors on the walls, chandeliers on the ceiling and round tables in the whole room. The guests went to their tables, sat down and ordered their choices for dinner whilst we were trying to catch the beauty of the room and its people in our pictures. Everyone was having small talk and it was a very posh atmosphere in the ballroom. When the president of the company went on stage though, everybody went quiet and was listening carefully to his speech. Afterwards the dinner started and we left the room. To sum it up I can say that it was an amazing experience for me! Being part of such a special event was really nice and I can’t wait for my next glamorous event.
