10-11:00 Talk
11:40 Lighting Demo
Followed by task
Leaf shutter allows flash sync at any speed
Focal plane requires a specific flash sync speed (most 35mm-DSLR-some Medium Format)
When using flash use 1/500th to reduce ambient light pollution
Photographers: Renaldi; Toby Glanville (work and uniform Reference); Michele Sank: Charles Fregare
Always consider shoulder position of sitters
- Meet Subjects
- Early set up
- Test camera/film/lights (set up using stand in)
- Meet at the door
- Props
- Eliminate distractions
For this exercise create images that represent the following: Select three of the following to represent in the exercise
- The Worker
- The Intellectual
- The Sales Assistant
- The Waitress/Waiter
- Cleaner

| Prolight (400 Joules) Monobloc switch positions for fill flash sync |
Fill Light -2 or -3 stops
Example Key light F11
-2 = F5.6 (2:1 ratio)
-3 =F4 (3:1 ratio)
Due to time contraints based on a number of factors such as: late start time of task; number of students per camera and group dynamics my shoot time was very limited, I'd say I fired the whole roll of film off in 10 minutes? I treated the exercise as an opportunity to try the fill flash technique, not an opportunity to create a wonderful body of work! Moving the lights etc left more light spilling onto the background than I would have liked. But we'd have never all got the test images done on time if we'd spent the required time needed to make the images perfect. I have examples of -2 and -3 fill flash technique.
If I'd had more time I would have gone for some side on profile images, that i shall save for a better day when i have more time.
The flash reflected off studio lights behind and above the model, also unsightly aspects of the background are in view, so i've crudely cropped those out just to remove those distractions.
