First Shoot
We still have more work to do in the studio, and we’re still waiting for the new lights to arrive, but I had this dress on loan so Jessica and I took the studio through a trial run. I wanted to work with doing what’s called a high key photo (mostly light tones) and that’s one thing that having the studio makes a lot easier. Using a roll of 10′ wide paper for the background, the lights are shining mostly on the paper, and then the white walls of the studio are used to reflect soft light on the model. Pretty common technique for catalog shots, but also very useful for portraits. It was so much easier doing this in the studio rather than our living room. I’m really looking forward to the great possibilities that having a studio will afford.
