Studio Photography |
Clients often hear me talk about reserving the studio only for the styles of images that call for a very simple look or special lighting. ….. and I usually say that’s not what I recommend for them!
So when do I shoot in the studio? Modeling and fashion style images often call for a studio session. Images on a pure white or pure black background (or any single colour) are best done in the studio. …. and frequently, commercial style or advertising style images are often best suited to studio photography.
For this studio session, we were trying for other looks beyond the warm, cheerful tone that defined Elisa’s outdoor session . If you watch the video at the bottom of this post, you’ll see that the other looks are actually brief interludes between her infectious smile!
Elisa was also my 1st live shoot (after lots of testing) with my new favourite studio lighting approach. I love it!! ….. I have tested this light setup on location since this session – and I’m happy to report that I can now bring this soft, dimension sculpting light right into your living room!
work it Elisa!! :
