One of the biggest advantage of shooting in a studio is that photography is carried out in a controlled environment. The lights are pretty much dictated by ourselves. The very recent studio shoot was my personal second and indeed, that is one area in which I think I still have a long way to go.


That's Liyun & Nick posing while I sneak a shot from nowhere. :P

I love highkey. It is a personal preference. I am a big fan of highkey pictures. With studio, I can literally light up my subject, removing shadows completely out of my shots. Comparing the shots from this recent shoot and that with the first, I'm more or less satisfy with what I have got, though it could have been better

As already mentioned, from logistic stand point, it was way too rush to shoot 4 models in 2 hours. We did not have too much time to adjust the light and merely shoot from the existing arrangement of the lighting. This I thought was a pity. Rushing through the shoot and to shoot for the sake of shooting is I think really a waste. Also, in the midst of rushing, we did not review our shots, or at least in a more extensive manner.

When it comes to studio photography, I have this preference of thinking up a certain concept, in terms of lighting and theme and then try to work on it in the studio to materialize it. And so, in the next studio shoot, it would probably be highkey again. But this time, I'm gonna discuss with Nick on the lighting technicalities before we actually conduct the shoot proper. Hopefully this time round, I can really get what I have in mind.
