FPPF: Studio Lighting Fundamentals, Day 3

Third and last day of the workshop. Expect to learn more. Today, we would have someone to model for us.

But first...

* Camera's metering tends to 80% gray.
=> For a white subject, overexpose by 2.
=> For black, underexpose by 2.

* f/8 is an ideal aperture for face, portrait.

* Always use the lens hood when shooting in the studio.

* For mobility, it is best to use the umbrella. For studio, the softbox.

Beauty Shoot


* For a beauty shoot, there must be no shadow.


Standard Formal Portrait


* Accent light can be a Standard Disc with Honeycomb or a Strip Softbox (long rectangular shape).

Glamour/Fashion

* Try to figure out if the sitter is capable of doing it.

* With gray card, you can get the correct texture of the surface.

* Ideal lens to use is a long lens.

Two or More

* When photographing two or more persons, safest is to use the umbrella behind the camera as the main light.


Big Group
