Our first practical lesson took place in one of the new studio's. we began by learning the setup techniques for the computer and the camera and we learned the camera and lighting settings. I made sure to take notes as it was quite complicated. I really enjoyed this lesson.
I love photography specifically fashion photography so I was really excited to start learning the techniques needed. I love being able to capture a moment , a mood or a feeling in a photograph. I also love combining my love of fashion, make up, art and photography. Its a physical thing that you can build and build. You can make it as big or as small as you like. You can re-create a picture in your mind and I find it quite cathartic.
Me and a couple of girls from my class really wanted a head start so we booked a studio and rented out a camera and equipment for the next day. We set up the studio, computer and lighting first and began testing the lighting and settings etc. we found it quite hard to get the lighting perfect so I think this is something that comes with practice. Also finding the perfect camera position and lighting positions was difficult as it has to change with every subject. We also realised the importance of good makeup application and good hair styling. It can look completely different in front of the camera. Although it was challenging I really enjoyed it and have a lot of ideas for shoots when I have gotten a bit more practise.
