[nicholasii]

To person reading this,

I would like to hear your experience in doing studio shoot... Personally i do not have any knowledge about studio shoot. Only Google around. However i felt that it's better to hear from experience people regarding this.

My question would be:

The do and don't.
Important point to take note.
Most used cam settings. f8? portrait color setting?

Regards

First thing.

figure out how to trigger the studio flash with your camera.

 

[ortega]

shutter speed is not really important
just keep it to below your flash sync speed
and higher to prevent camera shake

Second thing,

Only shoot with manual exposure mode, and custom WB

Next, ask if the studio has a light meter. They'll tell you the aperture, shutter speed and ISO to dial in.
