How to Use a Camera Flash for Studio Lighting:



A studio gives a photographer complete control over lighting conditions. Using strobes to light a scene requires a little forethought and a lot of experimenting. In the world of digital photography, experimenting is now easier than ever. There are still a few techniques to remember that will help in lighting a scene appropriately

Instructions:

• Mount the flash off-camera to avoid dull, flat images. When the flash unit is mounted on top of the camera, the lighting conditions often fill in shadows and lose detail in a subject. By changing the angle of light, shadows are cast, retaining detail in the shot. Use either a hot-shoe cord or wireless flash triggering system--often built into many modern digital SLRs--to remotely fire the flash, which can be mounted on a spare tripod
• alone young model in the photo studio image by Vasiliy Koval from Fotolia.com Add a secondary fill light to your flash setup for even exposures. Using a secondary flash, or constant source of light such as a hot lamp, that is less powerful than the main flash will provide enough light to capture detail in shadows. Consult your camera and flash operations manuals for information on firing multiple flashes at once. If your existing equipment does not support a multiple flash setup, then a commander unit can be purchased to add this functionality
• Choose your lighting technique based on your subject. There are a variety of different techniques providing different results. Classic Rembrandt lighting places the main light source in the upper left of the shot with a fill light in the lower right. Beauty shots often light a model from underneath the camera to reduce wrinkles, while butterfly flash setups use a rectangular zone of light to evenly light a subject from each angle
• Studio flashes image by sasha from Fotolia.com Choose the right umbrella setup. Umbrellas are used in studio photography to diffuse harsh light from flash strobe units and provide softer lighting conditions. Silver umbrellas provide a highly reflective bounce, ideal for glamour shots, while white umbrellas are available with black backing to prevent light escaping and provide softer light than silver umbrellas. Translucent umbrellas provide delicate light when used to bounce, or can be used to filter light by pointing them straight at the subject
• Isolated flash gun image by Alexey Klementiev from Fotolia.com Use colored filters and flash diffusers to adjust lighting. Many photographers use colored gel filters to project colored light at their subjects during photo shoots. Tinted flash diffusers fit on top of the unit and are a cost-effective and space-saving method of diffusing raw flash lighting. Experiment with different colors and setups to find the right balance

How to Set Up Lighting for Fashion Photography:



Fashion photography requires more than models and designer clothing; lighting is equally as important, if not more so. When you are setting up a shoot, establishing professional-quality lighting is not as difficult as you might think; it only takes a few simple lights, accessories and an idea of what to do with them

• Gather your equipment and place your model where you need her. Now set your key light to shine on the focal point(s) of your subject. Keep the light a minimum of 5' away from the model
• Diffuse the key light, if it is too bright, with your reflectors. Set up the light and angle one reflector to directly hit the focal points on your model's face or body. You can create a unique lighting effect by reflecting a separate light above or beneath the model
• Set up your backlight to appropriately separate your model from the background. This is very important if you are using a dark background and the model is wearing darker clothing. Angle the backlight directly behind the model so you create a line of light along the back of the shot
• Hang your sheet on either the right or left side of your model and beam a light directly through the sheet. This will diffuse the light from extremely bright to a nice, warm glow, which will provide your model with a smooth appearance
• Angle your camera to capture the best highlights and lowlights on your model. If you have a strong, dramatic key light, you will want to shoot from directly in front of the model. However, for a more artistic approach, use angles in your shooting style to capture unique highlights on the model's clothing and face
