Portrait Photography Lighting - How To Shoot Like The Pros
Though it may seem simple from an outside perspective, portrait lighting is one of the trickiest photography skills to nail down and takes years to master. On the plus side, because of the posed and scheduled nature of portrait photography, it is also one of the easiest ones to practice. If you want to start a studio out of your house, here are a few helpful tips to remember before you do your first shoot.
Brighter Isn't Always Better
Harsh, bright lights will definitely give you lots of illumination and make photographing your subject super simple. However, harsh bright lights are rarely flattering and should be avoided especially if you want natural results. The best lighting for portrait lighting is soft light. You can get this quality of light in the shade, on overcast days or by using photo umbrella reflectors in the studio. Using soft, even light will be easier to work with and will help to highlight your subject nicely.
Lighting Setup
Two lights should be enough for portrait lighting. You should use one main light to determine the tone and direction of your light, then place a second light near the camera to help offset it. This will help to soften any harsh shadows and even out the strong contrast. Another great way to achieve this effect is by placing one light above the camera and one fill reflector below the camera. Both of these solutions will give you great results with very little equipment.
Use What You Have
If you dont have the cash to invest in a professional light setup, you can often get near-professional results by moving a couple of desk or floor lamps around. If you want even more control, try using bed sheets to reflect the light around the room. Look around your house for possible lighting equipment and you may find some unique opportunities to use for your portraits.
Dont Forget the Sun
We often associate portrait photography with studio photography, but the truth is that the two are not codependent. You can get amazing results using natural light if you're careful about how and when you use it. For instance, if you have a large window in your house, use it as a natural source of soft light. If youre shooting outside, one of those big sheets of construction Styrofoam can work as a great reflector- just point it at your subject and it will help minimize harsh shadows.
Just like any other type of photography, portrait photography requires lots of practice, patience and a whole lot of love. What it doesnt require is a whole lot of professional equipment or piles of cash. Be creative with your materials and subjects and you'll be surprised at how great the results can look displayed in a wood picture frame. Portrait lighting is all about subtlety but that doesn't mean that it's not a lot of fun!
What's better--FL Studio or Pro Tools for hip hop production?
Pro Tools is obviously more expensive and I hear it's the "Industry standard." My question is, why? I make hip hop beats with VST's on FL studio but I'm wondering if there are good reasons for me to invest in a switch.
If you can handle FL then that's better.
Canon announces EOS-1D X: full-frame 18MP sensor, 14 fps, 204,800 top ISO, $6,800 price tag (Engadget)
Stick a piece of gaffer tape over the unmistakable X, and Canon's latest EOS-
1D pro-level camera will look virtually identical to every 1D model that came
before it. But once you flip up the power slider, this new king of the jungle
will hum like no other. Canon's phenomenally powerful EOS-1D X really sounds
like the DSLR to rule them all. Its 18 megapixel full-frame sensor uses
oversized pixels to battle noise and is supported by a pair of Digic 5+
imaging processors, which also help drive a 61-point high density reticular AF
system, a top ISO setting of 204,000 (51,200 native), a 252-zone metering
system, a 14 fps JPEG (or 12 fps RAW) burst mode and a built-in wired gigabit
LAN connection, for remote shooting and image transfer. The camera's curious
single-letter name represents a trio of industry milestones: the X is the 10th
generation Canon professional SLR (dating back to the F1 in the 1970s), it's a
crossover model, filling in for both the 1D Mark IV and 1Ds Mark III (which
has been discontinued), and, well, it sounds to be pretty darn "Xtreme."
The 1D X is being marketed to ...
