Smell my chees you mother

During my three week placement on the fast track hub I got asked to go to a photo shoot for some press ads that were being done for Saint agur delice. A soft blue cheese.

It was amazing to see the precision that the photos for these ads require. There was about 7 people there in all each with their own roles. There was a senior photographer, a junior photographer, a creative, an art director, a production manger, me and a food technician who was basically a make up artist for the cheese. She spent the day, moving the little areas of blue cheese around, and smoothing its surface, creating the perfect texture.

I spent the morning there, and had a great time; I even got a cheesy lunch.

So as the leaves begin to fall, winter sets in, and the time has come for the grads to pass on the torch. Davina, Jenny, Paddy and Ian have grown to wise old account men. Now, busy in their placements they have handed the blog over to the new kids on Baker Street:
