If ever some of us would like to further pursue in the field of photography later on, this Mass Comm Lab-based photo shoot that we had would be of much help. Even if no one would, we still seem to not have much of a choice since it’s a part of the course. It’s a bonus because there are lots to learn.
There are certain factors to consider if you are planning to conduct a photo shoot which we have learned during our practice and trial shoot in the confinement of the Mass Comm Lab and Editing Lab. First, consider your purpose for shooting. If you would only do it for fun and learning decide on your own theme, in our case we chose high fashion. On the other hand, if you are a hired amateur photographer, even if you only have a small pay grade, let your client choose his or her preferred theme. Photography as business includes negotiations. Secondly, hire models, and let them come 2 to 3 hours ahead of the photo shoot schedule for preparation especially if your model is female, make-up session takes a long time to finish. You must also give tokens for your models like what we did, it doesn’t matter if they are professional or not. Therefore, because it’s a class work, each of us paid an equal amount which we used to have something given to our models as our thanks.
If you already know the basics which refer to the exposure triangle: shutter speed; aperture; and ISO, and the techniques in lighting this should be a little less difficult for you. Still, it will always depend on the situation you are in whether the process should be less hard or even more difficult to handle.
That was what made it hard for us to take a lot of good shots. We are more than 30 in class and we only had 2 hours left to shoot because the other 2 hours was allotted to the preparation. Here comes another lesson, no matter how much it is needed and good to have a lot of photos taken, it is more significant to have photos taken less in quantity but better in quality. You cannot do anything on several “so-so” shots. I would always prefer to have less unedited photos if the situation only permits that. I can be prouder this way knowing that I did not need to edit my photos just to make it look good with some or many alterations.
So, here are my obras:
