For Photographers…
July 19th, 2011
This week, I just thought I’d share a tip for studio photographers. At the end of the day, it’s really easy to leave your lights setup as they were for the last shoot. However doing so can lead to some bad habits. Leaving your lights in place means that you will likely leave them in the same configuration for your first shoot the following day. This can lead to pattern of behavior that causes your lighting to look the same from one shoot to another.
At the end of the day, put your lights away. I don’t mean tearing them down, but just move them all to a storage room or to one side of the studio. That way, when you come in the next day, you’ll be forced to rethink your lighting and maybe try some new things rather than rely on old habits.
That’s it for now. Thanks for reading!
