STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY SESSION KENT UNIVERSITY

19/02/2019
This has been my third week of lectures, with two groups who were keen to find out more about photography, from the very basics to putting together a full studio set up. The students have ten areas for their final photographic portfolio to cover, a single image needs to cover a wide range of subjects which include portraits, landscape, nature and photojournalism photography. Each lesson covers a brief overview of each subject along with a practical element, the main focus using the Nikon DSLR's in manual modes.

The lesson highlights the benefit of just using a simple one light set up along with a reflector, then adding a second light for backlighting, side profiles or making the backdrop change. Sometimes the studio can be daunting but sticking to the basics initially is a good learning curve.
