Scheduling is just about one of my least favorite parts of my job.
Without it, though, nothing gets shot. You gotta get yourself and the
subject(s) of the photo(s) in the same place at the same time.

(I was once shooting at a hi-tek place. I showed the little mini-portfolio I
travel with to the client. He noted a portrait of Leslie Nielson and asked
me: “Did you meet him?’ I said: “No, I used a really, really long lens.”)

Anyhoo….

It took about 17 phone calls over 5 days to get these four top chefs to my studio
at the same time on the same day. Once they were there I had about an hour to
shoot a group shot and all the individual portraits.

The phone calls took longer than that.
