Hi, I heard recently that the signature of a professional photographer is mostly the kind of light that he/she uses. Everyone knows that using a light meter is essential in studio photography, but, even know I knew that, I didn't quite understood the whole significance of it. Last Sunday, I decided to try to do it right. Using 4 lights. I metered the main light at f/11, using a shutter speed of 200 and an ISO of 100. the fill light, I set it to f.5.6, and the two background light (my main problem zone) to f16. (both higher than the main light) The reason that I set the background lights to f/16 was because I was using a white background, and everyone knows that to make a white background really appear white, one has to over expose it 1.5 stops higher than the main light.
My friend Armando modeled for me for the shoot. Armando is the brother of my friend Vincent, which I met back while I was attending Baruch College back in 1994. Armando wishes to become a very successful actor, and I hope that the pictures help him accomplish just that.
