Photography Studio Notes

3 Point Lighting
Model cannot be right at the back near the backdrop. Roughly 4-5 feet away from the backdrop
Always turn off the light while taking photographs
Transmitter – use the left button to test the lights
Must download shoots right away
Nikon DSLR D7100
Flashlights (Black Stands) Must be at 45 degrees angles
Do not touch the raw light inside
Beep indicates that everything is ready to go and lights are all synced up
Green button is used to test the light on the flash
If the dial is on 1 then it is at the lowest brightness and 6 is the brightest
Recommended to keep the lights (flash) at 3
Switch off the lights before taking the plug out of the sockets to avoid electrocution
Main Key Light is the Right side of the face
Fill Light will Fill in shadow for even distribution
The tallest light is used to show the hairline and make the upper part of the body more visible
Lens = 18-105mm zoom
3 Modes A, S and M
A (Aperture) will control the DOF (Depth of Field) A Shallow DOF only focuses on the model and not the background
S (shutter priority) will control at what speed the shutter will close this is useful for moving objects or moving models.
WB = White Balance and it means the lights are on with natural light
ISO = Film Speed, higher the number, use the top dial and use either 100 or 200
Shoot in raw so its easier for manipulation
