Camera set up


Equipment:
  • Canon 550D, tripod, sync lead, beauty lens, reflector boards, SD card, hot shoe adaptor
Camera settings:
  • Manual mode
  • Shutter speed: 1/100
  • ISO: 100 (higher brightness = lower quality)
  • Autofocus (on lens)
  • Camera sideways for portrait images
  • Shooting straight on - camera at face level
  • Sync lead connects camera to lights (through hot shoe adaptor) to trigger flash at the same time as photo is taken
  • Beauty lens = much more zoomed in (for face/head and shoulders)
  • Reflector boards - silver side is more reflective than white side; used to reduce shadows e.g. underneath jawline; should be held by assistant to avoid the model looking tense, collarbones protruding, etc.
