First off, let me just say I am seeing lots of visitors here and I appreciate your checking out my blog. Please make sure you drop a line and say hello.
I have been doing a ton of shooting lately and I am about to do a pretty substantial upload this next week for my house of worship series. I have been doing a ton of studio shoots this last week, most of them related to house of worship, but when I start out with my models I have been trying to start with funny faces. Mainly to get everyone comfortable with each other. I”m including a shot of my model Katie who I have known forever and her faces shoot. The house of worship shots are even better that this.
This is what I have learned when it comes to white rooms and avoiding blowback and CA. By the way CA in white rooms is horrible, tends to hit the hair and is rough to get rid of. I”m getting closer to what is working
1. Make sure your subject is at least 4-6′ away from the background or you will get blowback which creates CA.
2. I have set my background lights to F11.5 so not a full 2 stops like what is normally advised…but I”m working in a smaller room too.
3. Lighter Skin, adjust your front lights…believe me it’s not one setting fits all.
4. Watch for CA…CA is the devil…hate it !!!
Here is the latest.
Well this is it for now, will let you know which pieces make it in !! Still waiting to find out on the lightning shot.Will let ya’ll know !! Please post and say you have been here !!
