studio

I haven't done a proper self portrait where I actually put some effort into it. It's been a rough part of my photographic journey where I am having a difficult time finding the inspiration and motivation. Anyways the other day I thought of a cool idea for a self portrait that I haven't done by...

Hey All, Still relatively new here but love the content! I just filmed a short video on my studio setup. What else am I missing?

Hello, I am starting a photo studio, mostly for newborn photography, and I would like to get some feedback and help on some of my photos. If you are a newborn photographer, I would love to hear from you, and if you message me I will give you a link to many RAW files from a practice session...

Hi, about to buy my first lights. Wondering if ive chosen the right ones. Thinking of buying Godox V1 and Godox AD200pro. Then build from there. Would that be a nice start or should i choose something else?

Hi I'm new here. I tried to google a bit, but google doesn't seem to do the trick. I'm looking for flash system that I can use on multiple camera brands. I've noticed in my research lots are limited to certain brand. I want the system to be Useable on location/Accu/Battery Accessory friendly...

Hey everyone!! I have been away for quite some time buuuuuuut I have learned SO much in the year and some months doing photography that I had to share. Several of you have seen my desperate out-cries in the past begging for some kind of direction. Looking back the other day, I realized just how...

Hey all, Just dropping by with some mono studio shots I snapped up yesterday. For the people interested in gear I shot these on a Sony A7rii with the Zeiss 55mm. The first shot was lit with a Bowens flash head the second set with a single ring light off to the side and a slight bit of ambient...

New shot! Please let me know what you think. :1247:

I am hoping someone who shoots with AB's outdoors could chime in.. :1251: I shoot mostly studio and i have several AB's currently. AB1600, AB800 and 2 AB400's. I have a tiny shooting space indoors so my 1600 was too much and i felt like the 800 might be too much so i recently picked up two used...

Thank you for all the kind words on my last pic! :lovestruck: Here's another! :1247:

Hello all I need some advice on pricing a 4 hour photo shoot for a local clothing company in Washington. All of the work I have completed so far has been mainly freelance and this is my opportunity to break in to product and fashion photography. I am currently building a studio for them in...

I've been trying really hard to replicate this lighting but without success. It's a natural even soft light, I use a softbox placed relatively far away and then a reflector. I have a feeling there's V flats involved in this set up but they dont provide a catchlight so its hard to know. Any help...

Hello everyone, I have a job that the lighting should be exactly the same to the ones in the links. Since I consider myself a portrait photographer, I guess some tips from the experienced friends on here could be helpful. I have 3 heads with big umbrellas and a beauty dish. Guess I will need...

Hello, I've got a few muslin backdrops for my studio but am in need of a variety of colored ones. I can't really afford to drop 100$ plus on multiple backdrops, so I was wondering if anyone has had any luck using things like colored bed sheets, or other cheaper materials for colored...

Hi all! I am setting up a photo studio for the sole purpose of photographing my clothing designs, which I sell online. I need a very specific kind of lighting, in that it must reproduce side window light as closely as possible and will be used always to achieve the same effect. I will be in...

Hey guys. I'm finally diving into the world of working in a studio environment. I recently shot with a model in my studio the other day and when I put the images onto my computer I noticed a lot of discrepancies. Here's a shot straight from the camera: STUDIO SHOT Camera settings: Canon EOS...

Hello, I'm currently looking to buy a full frame camera to replace my current set up. I've been using a Nikon D7100 with two lenses (Nikkor 85mm f1.8, and Nikkor 17-35mm f2.8) for interior and studio photography, plus a Panasonic Lumix GX8 (with a Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8) for street- and event...

Hey! I have this problem that keeps coming up. I am currently taking photos of artwork in studio. All the photos were taken with exact same lighting/camera settings and all photos were batched in lightroom. Why am I getting such different outcomes in exposure/white balance? I have been told...

Hi. I make furniture and want to get a little more serious about photographing & selling it. I have a Panasonic GH4 and a 20 mm F/1.7 lens and a tripod. Does anyone have any lighting / lens / equipment recommendations for me? I'll attach a picture of a wooden stool I made and another couple of...

Hi everyone! Does anyone know what kind of Profoto modifier would achieve this kind of look in the studio? I won't have time to test this in the studio so not sure if the standard reflector on the D1's will give a hard/strong enough light. Could something like barn doors or the Pro Fresnel work...

Hi, I am new to studio photography and have recently purchased a Lowel Omni to do some still life shots. However, I am not very pleased with the Omni as the 230V bulbs are really expensive, fragile and and in general, the omni seems to have problem with arcing and should not be moved when lit...

Hey guys, did a newborn session today with a little girl who's dad is a marine. The family is super thrilled with the photos, and I like them for the most part. Just wondering what you guys think of them. How can I improve in the future? Baby was very uncooperative and only slept for about 5...

Looking to buy a 2 light kit. However at a later date I'd like to add more lights when I have more money. IS it recommended that I go with the AC option or a battery option?? It's not essential for me to shoot outdoors and have portability. What is the choice to go with when building an Indoor...

Hi there! I have a client who wants to book a maternity shoot in the middle of January. I live in Canada, and as you know, we get lots of snow and it's brutally cold outside. So, outdoor pictures are out of question. I have a little studio at home, but very very tiny. I turned my spare bedroom...

Hello everyone! Happy to be here where I share the same interest with others! I'm a begginer and I need some help - I want to create a studio. Basically, my plan is to get a camera where I can do "tethering", i believe this is what it's called, and take photos of me showing my make up. For now...

Hello everyone, i am writing on this forum because i am a beginner with regards to everything related to photography, especially product photography. right now i would like to start a little project that consist in creating still life menswear outfits and shoot them from above; my point of...

Currently my studio is white but I have been thinking about switching to all black to knock down on reflective light for better control, any thoughts on this? Is your studio black or white? Thanks, Mike

Hi All - I have a job coming up that got a little shaken up since it was originally planned. The shoot was supposed to be in a hospital room with mostly window light and I was just going to bounce a few speed lights off the ceiling for fill. Unfortunately the client wasn't able to secure a...

Hi photography enthusiasts, some days ago i transformed my room into a small home studio for taking portrait photos. During the first photo session i noticed that i had to turn the exposure compensation to a minimum (-5.0 until -4.0) on my nikon D5500. I use 2 studio flashes, the flashes (with...

I am trying to use my SB-910, Nikon D750 & two studio lights on slave mode. I want just the studio lights to flash and not the SB-910. I have tried a couple different settings and can't seem to get the right combo! So I kind of just want the SB-910 to be the commander. Thanks

Hi. I'm looking forward to buy studio lighting kit (I want to set up home photo studio), I guess it's better than buying each one apart. When I was looking for this on amazon.com there are too many choices, so I don't know which one is the best for me. My budget is 200$, is it possible to get...

Is there a way that a Canon digital (e.g., EOS 1, or Rebel) can be connected to a computer, or television receiver, so that images, as created in a studio, and first presented on the camera's tiny screen, are displayed in large, useful format, on an external screen? This seems quite reasonably...

hello everybody. Recently i build home studio and the only thing missing is the strobe flash kit. I have a 2600$ budget and i have 2 choices now. the first one is to stay shooting with my Canon 600d and get a hensel integra mini flash kit ( a 300w/s and a 600w/s) which is priced 1650$ here in...

This might be a sill question, but I am absolutely in love with all of Reformation's studio photos. Any advice on what they might be using for their lighting setup to have such clean looking photos? Reformation Advice: Please don't images to which you not hold rights.
