Here's a few photo's from my first studio session taken in the college yesterday Sat 27th Feb.I bought in my niece Hannah to the studio as a model who was very patient and proved the ideal model. She's very friedly and easy to get on with. She's a student and saving to go to the states so slipped her £20 for the session but she was willing to model all day for that amount. Let me know if you require a model and you can keep all the images,no copyright problems as you get with some models.
I found it harder than I thought to achieve the desired results but with a little patience and persistance I was able to produce some low key images. I was quite pleased with the overall results for my 1st bash in the studio but hope to produce some better stuff next time in the studio
I'm not used to using a studio and needed a few tips from Steve and Eric. I was working in near total darkness so I would recommend an assistant to help with props and holding a torch etc. Pip gave me a hand and was great in assisting me with props,lighting etc.
Feel free to critique the images and give me tips etc to improve this kind of work
Breath taking pictures, she does photograph well doesn't she. The beauty must have skipped a generation, Steve.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we could have kept all of that but reduced the shadow to the left of the nose somehow?
Excellent stuff, and I agree it is very difficult to get the lighting correct for the idea one has in one's mind. Hannah was very good ( and made your images good!!!!) and you have produced some good images.It is a combination of light levels and f stop I think, very hard to get a balance. Bring back film!!! for black and white. I might try a film to see if the effects are different, as Digital black and white is not quite so easy to achieve. I do like the second one down, third one up. There are tips from the lighting book in the library to help us decide where the shadows fall.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Very impressive.
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteAll good comments, but where is the technical info, lighting diagram and photos taken at the back of the studio to evidence your set up, these must be done to evidence your work, again identify what criteria you are meeting and label this and all other blogs with which one you want to flag as meeting them.
