Photo Shoot Today - C&C

[etnad0]

You don't need a black background to get a black background. What you do is control the light from spilling onto it, instead of a black one a gray one works great because with a little light control it can go black, or with a gel or something else to color any lights on the background you can change it's color. Once you figure how to do it it is really simple, fast and cuts down your time on the computer editing images which means more time for taking pictures.

The best way to know what your exposures should be is to use a light meter. Since you are using constant lighting you can use the meter in the camera if you set it to spot metering, then meter off the face.

I'll play around with spot metering next time. Lucky for me she models as a hobby so she's willing to shoot anytime.

The black background looks fake. What program are you using? I would clean her skin up a little also.

OK, so I figured I'd try something to make the hair crop less harsh. More C&C please.
