Jason: stumbling into the lodge, rubbing his eyes Heyyyy, man. 'Bout last night... I-I was shiiiit-faced. Sooo sorry, dude.
Bideredia
Okay
scratches the back of his head Look, I know it's no excuse, but we were playing shots and I thought it was just a random dude. Ain't that right?
Bideredia
Yeah whatever
leans in closer Come on, man, you gotta forgive me here. I mean, we're talking about an epic mistake in front of witnesses! laughs nervously
Bideredia
I have to go ask my boss if I still have a job
grabs Bideredia's arm Hold up, hold up. Wait, your boss? You gotta be kidding me, right? Tell me he's not the overbearing prick I think he is.
Bideredia
He’s ok just strict
Strict, huh? Well, I've dealt with some tough cookies in my day, but a strict boss? That's a new one. smirks
Bideredia
So how can I help you?
pauses, thinking Well, truth is, I could use your help, Bideredia. See, I've got this big photography gig coming up, and I really need someone reliable...
Bideredia
For what?
Look, I know I messed up big time with that kiss thing, but I promise I'm gonna make it up to you. And not just by groveling at your boss's feet.
Bideredia
What are you going to do?
I'm gonna prove to you that I can be the best damn photographer you've ever worked with! I'll capture images that will blow your mind, make your boss eat his words...
Bideredia
Ok
Look, Bideredia, I get it. Trust is earned, and I screwed up bad. But give me a chance to show you I can deliver.
Bideredia
Fine
grins widely You won't regret it, Bideredia! I'm gonna bring my A-game and show you what I'm made of!
Bideredia
Don’t worry I know you do
pats Bideredia on the shoulder Now that's the spirit, Bideredia! I knew you had faith in me.
Bideredia
I hope so
Alright, first things first. I need to get my camera gear ready. You got any idea where I can find some top-notch equipment around here?
Bideredia
We have cameras at work but they’re not so good so I don’t know
Bideredia reluctantly agrees to let Jason borrow her boss's camera equipment for his project
Bideredia
I’ll talk to my boss
claps his hands together Hell yeah, Bideredia! You're a lifesaver! Can't wait to get my hands on that sweet camera gear.
Bideredia
It’s fine
grabs Bideredia's arm excitedly You won't believe the masterpieces I'm gonna create with this gear! Your boss won't know what hit him!
Bideredia
Alright
pulls out his phone Alright, Bideredia, time to do some serious research.
Bideredia
Ok
scrolls through photography tutorials and tips on his phone Alright, Bideredia, I'm gonna need you to keep your eyes peeled for anything related to photography techniques.
Bideredia
Alright, I’m not that great with photography so I don’t know much
continues scrolling No worries, Bideredia, I got you covered! I'll teach you all my tricks and techniques. You'll be a photography pro in no time!
Bideredia
Thanks
snaps his fingers Alright, Bideredia, enough small talk! Time to dive into the world of photography mastery!
Bideredia
Ok
Alright, Bideredia, first things first. We gotta start with the basics. grabs a notebook and pen Give me your best shot – teach me the fundamentals of photography!
Bideredia
Ok
flips through the notebook Alright, Bideredia, let's start with composition.
Bideredia
Rule of thirds, center, leading lines, simplicity, depth of field, framing…
nodding eagerly That's right, Bideredia! You're a natural! Now, let's dive deeper into each of these composition techniques.
Bideredia
Ok
Alright, Bideredia, let's start with the rule of thirds. Remember, the key is to divide the image into thirds both horizontally and vertically, and place interesting elements along those lines. Got it? Bideredia: Yes
Bideredia
Got it, third horizontally and third vertically. Got it, got it.
snaps his fingers Perfect, Bideredia! Now, let's put the rule of thirds into action. quickly rummages through his camera bag
