Poppin' It
Yesterday I did my first ever photo shoot. I must admit, it went pretty well and I'm satisfied with the results I got. I've not had a chance to look at them (images) properly yet, but that is planned for later.
Before you look at set-up below and say that's not professional, let me just say that I'm just a beginner in photography, and didn't really want to go all savvy since the project I'm doing now (FMP) or the one's I've done will not be going anywhere. Now that's not to say I don't take pride in my work because I do, but I'm sure we all have things where we just want more than the basic, but not go really far so that it becomes a burden.
I decided to go digital (for obvious reasons hinted above) and went with a Fuji. The lighting didn't have to be really savvy so a basic tungsten was used and the backdrops ... well as you can see I used card. Tacky and cheap looking I know, but it worked, and will suffice for now. I do have hopes of using the studio more next year and really step up the game a little with equipment and direction, but that'll matter on the kind of briefs that are set.
Hmm, seems like this is my first ever image post aswell. It's odd how I didn't even think of posting any images before. Hopefully I'll try posting images more often now, but only if they're really needed.
Right now though, I have a weeks break in which I must complete the project and get it printed and ready for my presentation on the Friday we go back. Oh and I do have more details of the show, but will get to that later.
