Susan Boyle - On Topic
Ken Shelton, Photographer
Wyckoff | NJ | USA | Posted: 10:11 PM on 04.17.09
->> I will bet for every person who admitted to a tear while watching her audition http://tinyurl.com/d6338k that another 10 will not admit to it.

On Monday Susan will leave her 'collection of houses' in Scotland, & will likely travel to Edinburgh (EDI) & thence to Chicago (ORD) to appear on Oprah (OPH - yes, she is probably rich enough to have her own code!)

YOUR assignment is to document Susan's journey from home to OPH plus 48 hours. You are the only photographer given access to Susan.

People
Life
Vogue
More
Enquirer
all want to see/license YOUR images.

Please tell us how you will fulfill this assignment. Logistics are cared for (sorry Fish), it is all about her/her extraordinary talent, and people's view of her before/after they know her talent.

The video choked us up. Do that with 'stills.' How will you soften/emphasize Susan's charms and talents. Light her for us. Tell us how you will flatter/flatten her.

Ken

->> You said it Chuck!

I was on the set of "American Idol" for about 10 hours on Tuesday working on a behind-the-scenes story for USA TODAY. I watched two full performances ... and Susan would have KICKED ASS on the 7 contestants still left on that show.

Wow.

->> Bert, the person I feel most sorry for is the person who had to follow Susan Boyle on BGT. Talk about a tough act to follow....

I read that she had been on later in the day and that there hadn't been much talent throughout the auditions. That would be the hard part as a judge; sitting through six or seven hours of terrible acts. She is certainly a wakeup call :) :) :)
