Using a stdio for first time - HELP!!

    Hi All

    Been asked to shoot some photos for a mate in a Studio next week but I've never used a studio before.

    There will be someone there to let us in and as far as I know they will help me set my camera up and the lights, but after that I'm on my own.

    Is there much that can go wrong from a technical point of view?

    I am pretty good with light/shade but am more concerned about getting settings correct - eg metering etc.

    Anyone got basic advice for me??

    Ta.

    Not too much that can go wrong, ensure you can either put the sync cable into your camera, or you have a hotshoe sync so you can actually use the lights.

    After that, it's a matter of practice, if you wanted, there's a fantastic book that I used when I started into studio work, Link, that'll give you a run down of all the different lighting types, gobo's, and set ups/situations.

    Most big book shops in Dublin will have it.

    thanks for that. Sorry my response took a while!

    will buy that book and hope for the best in the mean time!!

    In studio Friday evening for 2 hours - he's looking for an album cover shot so shouldn't be too difficult.......!

    No probs, that book will do you wonders for light layout and letting you know what is what :)
