EOC week 6: Jerry Metellus

Today in class we had a guest speaker photographer Jerry Metellus. Jerry was a great speaker and provided us with great real world experience. One of the great pieces of advice that he provided us with is that each step leads us to the distention. Even though we may not have experience in a certain field we have real world experiences that can help us in that field. He was a great presenter with great energy and keep the class laughing. Also even though that show business is fun it is just that a business. We have to consider many things when going in to an agreement with someone not just go in to it then have the shock of what is expected. One everything is set out and expectations are laid out the real fun can begin. Even though Jerry is self taught he has had great success in this field of photography. He has had experience in show business such as acting. Also another great piece of advice is that how can we as artist charge for our services if we will not provide the customer service and answer questions that the client might have. We cannot be divas in this business we are all human and should not treat others beneath us, because we have great success in our fields. Even though I am not a photography major I have gained a lot of knowledge with what Jerry talked about. Also since Jerry does fashion editorials might have the chance to work alongside with his stylist on a fashion shoot. Being able to work on a shoot would be a great learning experience and I hope that I do have the pleasure to work with Jerry and his team.
