I am a video guy that has been dragooned into shooting still photography for a client of mine. So having worked with video for years, I understand some aspects of photography, but I still feel like I'm jumping into a whole different arena.
As soon as I told my client that I had picked up a camera that could shoot digital still photos, (Canon T2i w/ 55mm standard lens) she immediately scheduled a photoshoot for tonight. Despite the fact that I don't even have a proper light kit.
As you can see from the pictures I've taken here, there is a lot of light in this place already, what should I do to make sure every picture is not overexposed?
This is an indoor shoot with 4 girls posing in business attire/fashion attire, lots of black and white secretary looking attire. I've attached some pictures of the space we'll be using in hopes that some experts will be able to give me advice about what I should have the camera set at, if I should use the flash at all , use external lights or what? Shoot in black and white or color? What kind of poses I should put them in? Just leave the camera on full auto mode? Anything you can contribute to not make this shoot a complete disaster will be a blessing. I've got about 7 hours till go time...If I have no advice, I may just set the thing to auto and leave it at that.
The first picture there is a green wall that I'm going to shoot them against, going to move all the crap off and we'll have a solid background. Then the rest of the pictures are what I got using auto mode with the flash on.
Thank you for any contribution,
