Alessandro, Claire and I went to our first Studio session to try and do some practise with studio lights. Studio lighting can be intimidating, at first. The studio is big, the flashlights have many controls and I tried to remember all the safe health and safety rules the technician told us during the studio inductions. So many things can go wrong!
Anyway, we managed to use them quite easily. After trying different light modifiers on one flashlights, just to see the differences, we played with two or more lights.
Initially, we wanted to recreate a portrait with plain white background so we placed one flashlights each side pointing at the white background. Then we placed the key light and took a light measure. After practicing a bit, we managed to achieve a perfectly white background by adding 1 stop light power to the background flashlights.
We also tried black background (no lights on the background) and adding a soft halo behind Claire's head.
NOTES
- We suffered very much because it was too warm inside the Studio, I think we left all modelling lights on Max instead of Rel.
- Music is important.
