portrait studio photography lighting techniques
anyone have experience in a photography studio?
im studying photography, and atm were doing studio portraits. tomorrow im going in to the studio to shoot my assignment. its going to be 3 portraits, one head and shoulders, one waist up, and one full body. we have to use tungsten lighting, no flash.
does anyone who has experience in studios have any cool lighting techniques i could use? or websites that would be helpful?
everyone in my class has to do the same thing. so i want to make mine original. i havnt really done a proper shoot in the studio yet tho, so i have no idea what to do!
we have only breifly gone over rembrant and hollywood lighting, so im guessing most people in my class will be doing that
any help would be appreciated! thanks
no it is not called cheating TONY. how do you think people learn? you learn a basic lighting set up and then tailor it to fit your needs. do art students not first study other masters work? they learn by appropriating other work.
You’ll probably be very limited in how you can work with / position lighting so my advice would be to try to stand out (great initiative) by having the model do something different. Make faces, jump, whatever. Work with expressions and poses in stead of lighting.
