Studio Photography Tips

• Set the lighting carefully

You should take advantage of natural and artificial light sources to get the most out of your camera. After all, photography means ‘painting with light’. A benefit of shooting portraits in a photography studio is that you have full control over the light. Take advantage of this! During your portrait session, spend some time adjusting your camera settings so that the light is perfect for your subject. Not only will this save time in post-production, but also ensure that your images are of the highest quality. Light has an incredible power to transform an average photo into one that is memorable and beautiful. Light is the most important thing in photography studio.

• Focus on one point at a time.

Focus is vital to creating a powerful portrait. If a photo is out of focus, you can’t fix it later, so you need to make sure that your camera focuses on the right part of your subject. Single Point Focus lets you make this decision. While automatic focus means that the camera decides on its own where to focus, Single Point Focus lets you choose where to focus manually. What you choose will depend on what kind of photo you want—whether it should be focused on the subject’s eyes, their lips or some other detail—and adding some thought into this process can make all the difference.
