Settings when shooting portrait in studio

( www.reddit.com )

Settings when shooting portrait in studio I’ve recently started shooting portraits in a small studio I’ve created in my home.

Now, I understand that having a f5.6-f8, black background, small modeling light and pretty much no environmental …

Purposely shooting with “wrong” white balance.

( www.reddit.com )

Purposely shooting with “wrong” white balance. Has anyone experimented with shooting the deliberately wrong light balance. I don’t like editing my photos, mostly out of laziness, and have been trying to modify my white balance in camera to get the look I want. I’d liken this to choosing a physical film stock because of how it renders colors, i.e. Fuji vs Kodak. The image is an initial attemp…

Any tips for improvement for shooting/editing? Hello! I have been taking wildlife photography for a little over a year now and feel like I stalled out with improvement. I use a rebel T7i and Sigma 100-400 lens. I edit in Lightroom but feel like I don’t have a “style” that people talk about. Would love any advice. Thank you!! submitted by /u/fired789

What is your workflow for shooting head shots?

What is your workflow for shooting head shots? Hello everyone, I do mostly live music photography and was just hired to do a corporate headshot gig. I was wondering if anyone has a good system for checking people in, taking their photos and keeping track of who is who? The client doesn’t want us taking people’s photos holding name cards. I’m thinking about tethering my Sony a7ii to my lapto…

Shooting in an Aquarium. My family & friends are visiting the Toronto aquarium next week, and I’m looking to shoot some photos inside the exhibits. Does anyone have experience in this type of environment? I want spontaneous shots of the kids interacting with the exhibits, so shutter speed would be key. I have a Z6ii and I’m thinking of bringing my 24-70 2.8 and my 70-20…

Tips for shooting on a boat?

Tips for shooting on a boat? I have done a few whale watching tours, and one of the things I’m struggling with is the boat movement. I’m trying my best to keep the horizon straight/reduce camera movement, but it’s been difficult so far, especially since I got a bigger telephoto lens.
