Studio Induction
Today we were given a studio tour induction, to give us experience on how to use the studio equipment properly and given health and safety demonstrations for each studio.
We were given tours of three studios (Infinity Wall, Black Studio and White Studio) and shown what equipment is available in each and shown how to use them correctly and safely. We were also given the chance to use each to studio to give us the chance to "wet our feet" with studio photography. This began in black studio, where we were shown how to use the lights there and each did a quick portrait shoot. After this, we were shown the white studio, its lighting and the interchangeable backgrounds there, before using it to take a quick portrait shoot again. We were also shown the product booth in the studio, used to take studio style images of any small products. Finally we were shown the Infinity Wall studio and given instructions on how to use the studio's lights and flashes and given the chance for another portrait shoot each. I feel this whole workshop helped me greatly to get to grips with both studio photography and portraiture, something that will come in handy through my portrait and self portrait project. |
