Photography Induction

In today's lesson I had a photography induction in the studio. 

These are the points i had during the session...

• There are only white, black and grey backgrounds for the photos.
• There is a trinity flash light for different lighting mechanisms.
• There is a soft box, used to soften the lights (diffuses) creating no shadows.
• Soft boxes has numbers for how strong the flash will be (1.0 is the lowest and 6.0 is the highest number)
• There is a reflector (in gold (creates a warm tone), silver (creates harsher tones)).
• Always make sure the room lights are off so the focus can be on the model.
• The camera would be a Nikon D7000 - always look through the view finder.
• On the camera there is a god ox (acts as remote control) it connects to the trinity flash lights and soft boxes.
• Use the lens on the camera to zoom in or zoom out.
• Hold the camera button to keep image in focus.
• There are 2 options on the camera A for Aperture which is used for detailed photos and S stands for Shutter Speed used for fast movement photos.

I have two photos that I would like to use as inspiration for my main cover star and double page spread. I haven't thought of any photos for the contents page yet.

Front Cover image inspiration

I like the pose and props used in this image of Usher (hat and leather jacket). My cover star is most likely to be a male.

Double Page Spread image inspiration

I like the pose of Bruno Mars in this picture. I would consider this pose for my double page spread.
