Studio Photography guide and tips from Photo.net Why go into the studio? Studio photography is easy because you can get exactly what you want. Studio photography is hard because you can get exactly what you want. Soft light, hard light, hair light, background. Rent or buy? Most big cities have good rental studios that come complete with lights, backgrounds, and often assistants. Ceiling or floor? Decide whether you want your studio to be floor-based or ceiling-based. In a ceiling-based studio, you mount background rollers on the ceiling and a rail system that allow flexible positioning of lights anywhere within a rectangular area. The coolest part of any rail system is the pantograph light support. The Lights Decide what format camera you'll be using. To learn about hot lights, read one of the many good books written for cinematographers on the subject. Sunlight If you have any windows in your studio, you might be able to use the sunlight coming in. Hot Lights Once you know how much light you need, decide whether to go hot, warm, or cold.

How to Price Portrait Photography? Jodie Otte's Advice | MCP Photoshop Actions and Tutorials Blog for Photographers You are here: Blog Home » Business Tips » How To Price Portrait Photography To Make Money How To Price Portrait Photography? Words of Advice from a Professional Photographer As a general observation, I am shocked at the low prices of a lot of portrait photographers – especially new photographers, and I hope this isn’t offensive to anyone, but what is more important than your photography, is your business skills when running a business. This industry is completely saturated with under priced photographers – many talented. Business sense, that’s what. Everyone asks – how should I price my portrait photography? Another thing – if you do not need the money right now because your spouse is the breadwinner, now is a GREAT TIME to build an exclusiveness about your business. The thing about running a business – you have to take emotions out of it. Do you have a reason for pricing the way you do? So how do you price? Ask yourself how much you want to make per year. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Paul C. Buff, Inc. Equipments for Jewelry/ Portrait Photography - Photo.net Lighting Equipment and Techniques Forum Hyung Cho , Sep 21, 2010; 01:56 p.m. Hi Everyone, My friend owns a jewelry company and he wants to shoot his jewelry and models in house. I'm shopping for some lighting equipments and was wondering what would be the best gear for him. His goal is to achieve pictures with great lighting and details like the following: Can he produce these kind of photos with 2~3 speedlights or does he have to buy something with more power? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Hyung Charles Webster , Sep 21, 2010; 02:39 p.m. Before buying equipment, buy and read "Light - Science & Magic" to learn how to light reflective objects. Two lights and a couple of umbrellas will not give you the kind of results you see on those sites. Lighting small reflective objects like jewelry requires great precision in light and reflection control.
InfiBeam: Gifts to India | Online Shopping India | Apparel, Books, Cameras, Watches, Mobiles Pricing Professional Wedding/Portrait Photography: Resources and Ideas First, I want to say thanks to the literally hundreds of people who contacted me about yesterday’s post, So You Call Yourself a Professional. I received more than 300 responses by email and hundreds more messages on Twitter. Only three were negative and surprisingly, two of those three were even civil. It’s clear that for every troll who’s out there trying to make a name for themselves by bashing someone with a big audience like me, there are 100 of you who like and appreciate what I do. I’ll continue to do it just for you. I think it’s noteworthy that people from other industries contacted me to say that they faced similar problems. Amongst the praise, several of you asked how you could break out of the bottom pricing tier, so today’s post is designed to help you do just that. I want to start by reminding you of a paragraph in the original post. “If you want to learn how to effectively, fairly, accurately and reasonably price your photography, there are lots of places to go for help.
ETTL Cord | Extra-long E-TTL Cord | Canon Speedlite Off-camera Flash | Canon OC-E3 | Speedliting Bowens - Photo.net Lighting Equipment and Techniques Forum Here are a few specifics: The Bowens Monolite E was last produced in 1982 and was replaced by the Monolite D. It does not have voltage control. The power supply consists of a voltage-doubling circuit which charges the storage capacitors up to a value 2x rms of the mains. At 220 VAC line voltage this is theoretically 644 VDC, practically this comes to approx. 610 VDC due to the current-limiting resistors and losses in circuitry. The contacts of the rotary switch are sometimes a problem with the Bowens Monolites, like Ian Burgess mentioned before. To prevent arcing on the contacts you must avoid firing of the flash tube while switching the power setting. The following advice may be helpful in the future: 1. If one day the power switch should fail, and no substitute is possible, do not junk the unit, just have an electrician put a jumper wire on the switch (image 2). The sensitivity of the I.R. receiver has been factory set. Hans P.
MySmartPrice: Mobile Phone Price in India The Time Magazine Cover Photo “Ripoff” « Mark Stout Photography – Photoshoot News & Models When this stock photo appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, the photographer was bouncing off the walls with the thrill of having made the cover of a major magazine. He posted the cover and his elation on Model Mayhem, a networking site for models and photographers, and received dozens if not hundreds of comments congratulating him on his “victory.” His sense of accomplishment was short lived. The problem here is that Time Magazine, who from the reports usually spends in the neighborhood of $3000 for its covers or about $1500 for a stock photo cover, licensed this image from iStock photo for a mere $30.00 – less than the coins in the jar. I’m sure the wind in the photographer’s sails vanished when he and his image became a poster child for the abuses currently occurring in the industry. Some of the attacks on the photographer have been brutal and he doesn’t deserve them. I can remember the thrill of seeing my first image in a major magazine. Microstock can’t be blamed for this.
