Studio Evening 27th march 2023
2023-03-27 19:00 - 22:00
Studio Evening 27th March The next studio group will be on Monday March 27.
There will be a model who will change outfits during the course of the evening. There maybe a charge towards the hire of the model.
The lighting will be set up for you so you can concentrate on taking photos, ideally one photographer at a time. The plan is for two different lighting setups:
• 1st part of evening: three light (main, hair and background with reflector for fill, for variation could put gels on background light)
• second part of evening: two light clamshell (main, reflector and separation light)
You will need to bring your camera with a standard zoom lens or short telephoto. Don’t forget a charged battery and empty card and you may find a tripod useful.
The club will provide flash triggers.
Help will be available on the night with getting the best from the model (posing), best angle and the lighting.
If you need assistance with your camera please bring the manual. We will try to help but without the manual that may not be possible.
Please let me know if you are interested in attending and which date works best for you.
This is a practical evening with limited room for watching. If more than 15 members are interested then we may need to split over two evenings.
Best regards
Cris
