Visit to the photography studio

Before i begin the photoshoot i need a clear plan of what im going to be doing-
- need to be aware of who are my models
- what costumes/ clothes are needed
- What props may i use?
- What kind of makeup is going to be used
- plan the timing, have the models ready before shoot time begins
`
The camera i will be using is the DSLR Nikon D7000. It is around 17 million mega pixel which means it has very good resolution. The lens of the camera is 18-135.
As soon as you hear a beep from the camera, you are in focus. On the lense, 'A' and 'M' are used for zooming. A is for auto mode which is used for portraits, eyes or nose on focus or where the background is in or out of focus. M is for manual. If you want to have the hair of a person in focus or the actions of someone jumping in focus, have the settings on s which means shutter priority.
Reflectors come in different shapes and sizes and they are used to bounce the light. There are gold and silver reflectors, gold gives a warmer tone.

If i choose to use a white backdrop, it is best to avoid photoshopping this. There is enough space of backdrop for group shoots or selfies so i dont have to be concious by limiting the space.

Always have my model placed 5-6 feet onto the backdrop. Never have them standing right at the back as this will bleach them into the backgrounding, vanishing half of their image.

When photographing i will have to ensure all the class lights are turned off. There are specific photography lights which i will be using. The studio flash will not affect the image of the model. It is suitable for photoshoots and will not cause the model to sweat or loose colour in the image.
Everything in the studio is infrared. Click flash on the camera to check if the flash is working properly. The settings of the flash can be changed, 1 being the lowest setting and 6 being the powerful spurt.

The main light which will be used is the key light. Position this on the individual model. Phill lights are used to take out the shadow whereas haline lights shines on the back of the model, separating them from the backdrop. This creates alot more contrast. The lighting ratio is 3:1 which means every light will do something different in terms of flash.
