As the photo shoot for our models is approaching we have, today been in a tour around the Photo Studio gathering information about how all the equipment works and their individual purpose for making a good picture stand out professionally.
Going through the technical terms of both the camera and the lighting set up I will now explain how they function starting with the source of light which is the major role of an interesting and meaningful photo on the models as it can give many effects if the shadows and light are used properly.
First up are the SoftBoxes by Bowens. A SoftBox is mainly a material that covers up the light bulb and has an umbrella type of shape to it. The material is used to soften up the light as it passes through which is ideal for getting a clear, smooth look without having too much shadow. Especially under places like the chin as hard light gives an unappealing look.
Behind in the background is another light source called a Snoot which is always placed behind the subject, A Snoot is a tube that fits over a studio light or portable flash which gives out a beam of light usually pointing behind the model. It is very effective especially in situations where the colour of the background blends in with clothes or hair.
