LIGHTING AND BACKGROUND
In the studio, there are white and black backdrops. For my photo shoot, I intend to use a white backdrop as my models will be wearing dark (preferably black) clothing. This way, the white backdrop with compliment the black clothes well as they are contrasting colours but go well together.
Flash kip – Remote controlled.
The flash creates highlights and shadows and focuses on the main subject of the photo shoot.
In the studio, the lights get switched off as it affects the shoot. If they were to remain on, the ceiling light, the sudio lights as well as the flash from the camera will all clash, making the photo come out differently.
It is advised that models are not too close to the backdrop as they would bleach in, and it would result in the models not being shown clearly in the image. The best place to stand is 5 feet away from backdrop as there is a clear distance between the subject and the background
There are 3 main model lights
Trinity flash heads/lights - never heat up
Minus and plus buttons are used to adjust flash light settings with 1 at the lowest light flashed and 6 at the highest light flashed.
Godox - battery operated remote control/transmitter for the camera to use flash
3 lights
One has a grid - fill light
Snoot - hair line light - hit subject at the back, separates subject from backdrop
3 point lighting
Key light, the main light that would light the subject
Key light is brighter than the rest of the lights
