Photography seminar notes

Shooting Beauty

ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/160
Aperture F5.6 (change as needed)


  • Work with a mark on the floor for the model to stand on - feet roughly 1 metre from tripod with model's head 1 metre from light
  • Lights pointing at the camera mean fingerprints will show up really clearly on lens (clean with cotton cloth)
  • Reflector right underneath chin will flatten picture; angled under the eyes will keep definition 
  • Make sure camera is at the right height for the model so that you cannot see under the neck 0 more flattering
  • Vary white/silver reflectors for different brightness
  • Various mm lenses for very close up shots, etc.

Set-up examples:
