Technical Session 29/10/15
I've always found Chris' technical sessions to prove to be essential. I've made so many notes. So here's some of the notes I've made from this session, just typed up.
"Mains Power Flash Kit"
- This is great for out of studio shoots. You have to book it out from The Hatch. It means you can shoot anywhere that you can plug in the lights.
Lenses to shoot with:
50mm
85mm
100mm
Theses are fantastic for beauty shots because they give you a really crisp image.
Hold the AV and turn the wheel on the camera to change the Aperture. (This is the hole that limits how much light it lets in) In turn this effects the Depth Of Field.
Working with Natural Light:
This light is really flattering for people. It can be really hard to recreate in the studio but it is do able. In this scenario we're using a windowed studio. When shooting using natural light, it's important to have the camera and photographer closest to the window
Window --> Photographer --> Camera --> Model
The closer you bring the model to the window the brighter the image will be.
M= Manual You need to make sure you have the right ISO and shutter speed.
Aperture- AV Priority can only change. So put the ISO up.
Auto ISO. 6400
Good Composure, Good Exposure and Images in Focus are all crucial for good photos.
It's important to remember your audience. A photograph that's been shot for i-D Magazine probably isn't suitable for The Guardian. It's all about knowing the audience you're shooting for.
Portraits:
Fill in the space or make use of the collar bones.
Profile:
It's always good to go strapless
