Practice - Week 2

In today's practice session we had to set up the studios like we did last week but just in our group as a 4. We took images of each other practised different poses and some different back lighting to see what images worked with what light.

Setting up the studio was the same as last week, we got two lights at the back of the studio with big soft boxes on them to keep the light soft, the sides we had two white reflector board reflecting the back lights on to the front of the model.
In front of the model we had the big three leg light with a beauty dish on the light facing the model but raised above the head slightly. We used a reflector too in some of the images to see what light it gave off.

Some of the images we too were hair flicking, hair at the front and the back of the face, side on shots and looking over the shoulder shots. We did use 3 different lenses a 100mm, 55mm and 85mm lens.

Unfortunately we forgot to get the photos from off the computer we used and by the time we remembered to do it they would have been removed off the computer. I have one or two photos that were on my phone that I took though..

I would say this practice session was good as it gave us the chance to see how organised you have to be when setting up a studio, getting everything set up correctly and safely, making sure all the lights work and are synchronised together too.
I enjoyed this lesson as I think it gave us a chance to see the different lenses and different lighting try work out what works well and what doesn't.
The only thing about setting up a bigger set up is that it takes more time, but the if you know what you are doing and where you want everything I think it is much easier to do.
