The Photographer (Tyler Hoechlin AU)

VIII

(Next Week at Tyler's Photo Shoot)

Tyler told me to bring my camera bag even though I know they won't allow me to take any photos. I will say it is amazing in here right now. It is freezing though. I don't mind that though. I like the cold. I wish I could work in an environment like this. This equipment is probably extremely expensive. I've only seen one of the camera lenses and it probably cost around three thousand, maybe a bit more. I wish I had a lense like that. I'm just looking around while Tyler is getting ready.

"Emily?" A man came over.

"Yes, hi." I smiled.

"I'm Nick. I'm the head photographer today. Tyler told me about you."

"Oh ok. It's nice to meet you."

"You too. Now Tyler showed me several of your photos from his party a little while ago and-

"And they're amatuer right?"

"I wouldn't exactly say that." I looked at him surprised, "You brought your camera?" He looked down at my bag.

"Yeah."

"Can I see it?"

"Sure but it is an older camera and lense." I told him.

"That's fine." He smiled. I took my camera and lense out. I handed them to him and he looked at them both, "I'm gonna guess the lense is around three years old and the camera is around four years old?"

"Actually both are four years old."

"Ok." He nodded.

"Why did you want to see them?"

"The quality of your photos from his party are alright but all you really need is new equipment. They're good photos."

"Thanks but I feel like Tyler told you to just tell me that and bring me to high spirits. I wish I could work in an environment like this." I told him and he looked down at my camera and lense.

"Do you have a card in here?"

"Yeah a sixty-four."

"After like two hours would you like to take some photos with my equipment using your card?"

"Wait, I'm gonna take photos with your camera and lense with my card? Do you want the photos or-?"

"Well let's see how things go." He smiled, "You have an hour though." He handed back my camera and lense.

"Wow, um, I don't know what to say. Thank you."

"You're welcome." He smiled then walked away. I looked in my camera to double check that I brought my memory card and I did. Thank god! Tyler definitely set this up though.

"Hey." Tyler came over in a tight black tee and blue jeans.

"Did you set this up?" I smiled.

"Set what up?" He questioned.

"Nick came over complimenting me, I think, about the photos I took at your party then he offered to let me take photos with his equipment."

"I showed him your photos and to see if he would give you any advice or something. I did not say anything about taking photos with his equipment I promise."

"Wait, so he literally, on his decision, is letting me take photos with his equipment for an hour. Oh my god!"

"That's awesome." Tyler smiled then gave me a hug.

"Tyler! Let's get started." Nick called Tyler over. Tyler looked at me again and smiled. I smiled back then he walked over towards Nick. Holy shit! I'm gonna take photos with like thousands of dollars equipment. Wait, now that's a lot of pressure. I gotta make sure everything is gonna be setup right. Like I gotta act like a professional photographer. But I don't want to be too serious. I need to be a little relaxed. Alright Emily, this is big. Don't screw it up.
