The Photography Studio
Write down at least 5 rules of the studio:
- No Food + Drink allowed inside the studio
- Don't touch lights in the studio if they've been on for a while
- No trip hazards should be present, all wires should be made secure and away from walking area's
- Exit through the fire exits only in the case of an emergency fire
- No shoes allowed on the photoshoot backdrop
Where are the fire exits?
The fire exits can be found at the atrium or behind the studio.
The Light Meter
In this task we were challenged with annotating the light meter with the functions in which we'll need for the studio.
Light Fittings and their functions
The next task on the sheet handed out was to name the light fittings displayed and also write what their functions are.
This piece of equipment is a Soft Box, a soft box creates a softer light which can be used from behind. The soft box also creates an even and diffused light by directing the light through some diffusing material or bouncing the light off a second surface which in turn then diffuses the light.
Our second piece of equipment is a Honey Comb Grid, this is simply a honey comb structure which cuts off the light to make the lighting spot more narrow. This is done with a lot of other pieces of equipment, such as beauty dishes, snoots and soft boxes.
The third piece of equipment is a Snoot and is usually used with a black background, this is done because the snoot creates a spotlight on your subject. Snoots can also be used to control the direction and radius of the light beam and also come in different shapes and sizes.
Lastly we have the Beauty Dish, these dishes distribute light towards a focal point by using a parabolic filter. Paired with a soft box, it gives the image a wrapped and contrasted look. This leads to a more dramatic effect in your pictures and is used in fashion photography for an example.
