WHAT IS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY? A studio is an artist's or worker's workroom, or the
catchall term for an artist and their employees who work within that studio.
A photographic studio is a business owned and represented by one or more photographers, possibly accompanied by assistants and pupils, who create and sell their own and sometimes others' photographs.
STUDIO EQUIPMENTS
C-STAND
Metal stand that holds items in place Important to use (instead of having someone
hold the reflector or light) because you’re sure want everything is exactly the same each time you shoot
CUTTER (AKA FLAG)
An opaque device placed in front of a light source that cuts/reduces the light
Works best when placed close to the subject rather than close to the light
A net or screen-like material that reduces the amount of light
Can me metal (hot lights) or fabric (strobes)
Changes the amount of light, but not the quality of it
A honey-combed grid that fits over a strobe reflector light to “focus” the light into a spot
Net or Scrim Grid spot
Black metal flaps (doors) that changes the shape of light source
Used with hot or other types of focused light sources
A box with black sides & soft diffused material on the end that fits over a light source (not hot light)
Modifies the light source into very soft diffused but directional “window” light
The larger the box, the softer the light
Barn Doors Soft Box
Device that is placed in front of hard light source to break up the light
Can be solid with cut-outs or “celo” made of screen
A device of diffused material that softens & reduces the light
Works best when placed close to the subject rather than close to the light
Cookie Silk
REFLECTOR
Any method of “reflecting” the light source
Can be a matte foam core board for difficult light and a mirror for very hard, directing light
The metal “collar” that surrounds a strobe light is called a reflector – it reflects & directs the light from the head
Black metal tube that changes the shape of a light source
A light modifier that can work similar to a soft box, but less directional
Can shoot through the silk of a white umbrella, or bounce off of a black exterior with silver/white interior
