Commercial studio photography

Throughout this project I had not used any studio equipment so I was quite excited when we booked out the studio for half a day. I found myself quite intimidated by the lighting equipment but Hannah, Adam and Holly kindly helped me with my technical difficulties! I learnt a number of things by watching Hannah's shoot first. I find that I learn a lot through observation. I really enjoyed directing our model & experimenting with lighting.

I am a big fan of lighting one side of the face! It adds a unique mystery to the photograph

I kept my ISO on 100 and my aperture ranged from F8 to F11. I felt that the photos taken with an aperture of F8 were quite bright and highlighted the face too much.

Light Meter:- Set shutter speed to 200 or below - Otherwise travels faster than speed of light.
