Community outreach, Girl Scouts Cookie Season and 360 Product Photography
It has been an interesting week at the studio. We had a great evening with a troop of Girl Scouts that wanted to learn about photography. Sometimes we love a little community outreach. It also happened to be girl Scout cookie season, so we combined photography, marketing and cookies. After a quick introduction to what our studios does(360 Object Photography), we handed it over to the girls for them to give it a try. They had a blast using the 360 turntable and controlling the camera. Once all of the photography was completed, we turned to the computer to see how to edit all of the images. Much was learned and I hope that PhotoSpherix has helped at least on person from the next generation to love photography. After all of work, the girls had animated GIFS that they could use on Facebook to promote feeding our addiction to those great cookies.
3 Years later and my daughter is just about to start driving. It was great to be able to spend time with her and her scout troop showing them how to create 360 photography. I know I enjoyed the evening and I think they did as well. Each year I bring out these 360 views to show the girls how they have gotten older, but they still sell girl scout cookies in the winter.
Out of the 13 girls that visited the photography studio here in Indianapolis, 11 are still active scouts in high school and their fellowship and friendship has only grown through the years.
