Studio

Today we had a shoot for PVC lock, Eco lock, and tomorrow we're getting wet. All day long we took photographs of pipes, manifolds, and many other items I can't even remember the name of. We were there from nine o'clock until four thirty. His studio was very nice. It had an apartment upstairs, sitting area with couches, then the studio. The studio of really big. I'm guessing it to be about fifty by one hundred feet? I'm no expert, but it was big! There was a whole huge corner that was all white from the ground to the ceiling. Then there was a full kitchen. There was leftover soap products from a previous shoot. Then there was a large tarp with dirt on top of it. That was set up for our shoot. 

To start we showed the images we wanted to get. Do you ever think about how much time goes into the photo's you see in brochures, pamphlets, and packaging? Me neither. We showed the storyboard. Then we got down to business and photographed all day. It was so cool how he had his camera hooked up to the computer so he would shoot and then go right to his computer. The art director would check out which photo's she liked out of the group of photo's taken. We would adjust the light in order to make the trench the pipe was in look larger. The shadows mattered. It's all about DETAILS. Details matter!

 

This blog is supposed to be about what I'm learning. I've learned my heart and soul is portrait photography. I love people. Is it ok I'm learning I want nothing to do with studio lights only? People say they love studio's because they have complete control of the light. The light looks fake. The look of studio lights still looks dark. This Saturday I'm shooting with a favorite photographer of mine Jalene Taylor. I'm super excited. It'll be good to see more side of photography.
