Studio Shoot

8 February 2009

Posted in: Photography

It’s been a long time since I did any studio portraiture or used studio lighting. So I went along on an event at ISL Studio in Leeds organised through the Talk Photography forum. I was a little nervous at first but everyone was welcoming and friendly. After the first session I had a chat with Gemma, one of the models, as she needed a little reassurance too and I think it did us both good and we relaxed. The day was very enjoyable and we had a good laugh, I don’t think it’s the best way to learn studio lighting because there was very little individual control over the setup in the studio. This improved when we worked out of the studio with just one light.
