Photography Demo

                                                            This is the photo studio where we had a demo on how to use the photo studio and its equipment efficiently.
             














This piece of equipment is called a key light which lights up the model or object.














This piece of equipment is called a grid or soft-box. It distributes light evenly on the model.


This object is called the snoot. It creates a three point lighting and hits the model's hair at the back of their head.

















These are gold and silver reflectors. They produce a glow on the model's face when aimed towards them.

















Other general notes: There's a white backdrop so there is a clear background while taking the pictures. The lights need to be turned off after so the bulbs don't over heat and explode. The model should always be 5-6 ft in front of the white background so they won't blend in with the background. The receiver is a godox which is a receiver for the lights which controls all the lights via infra red.
The camera: it is a Nikon D7000, it is an 18 mega-pixel camera. To take a good picture the cameraman/woman needs to look through the eyepiece and it needs to be in focus and tilt the camera at a 45 degree angle. The faster the shutter speed the better quality picture of a moving image e.g jumping. Each time a photo is taken the lights will beep and flash all at once,
