Today, we had learned about studio photography. Today’s lesson is just to know how to construct studio photography. We were introduced about equipments, techniques and so on.
LIGHT METER
A light meter is a device used to measure the amount of light. In photography , a light meter is often used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph. Typically a light meter will include a computer, either digital or analog , which allows the photographer to determine which shutter speed and f-number should be selected for an optimum exposure, given a certain lighting situation and film speed .
Light meters are also used in the fields of cinematography and scenic design, in order to determine the optimum light level for a scene. They are used in the general field of lighting, where they can help to reduce the amount of waste light used in the home, light pollution outdoors, and plant growing to ensure proper light levels.
UMBRELLA
Photographic umbrellas are constructed similar to a rain umbrella, but made with materials that control light. Most umbrellas are black on the outside with a reflective surface inside. Lighting units are mounted such that they are pointing into the umbrella. When triggered, the light bounces around inside of the umbrella then out toward the subject providing non-directional lighting. The lighting from a photographic umbrella is typically smooth and soft.
Umbrellas are quite common do to their low cost and great results. Many portrait photographers favor umbrellas to soft boxes because of the round catch light, or reflection they produce in the subjects eyes.
Umbrellas have been manufactured in many variations of size and color. Some are even designed to be convertible, having their black backing removed, which allows the light to pass through the inner layer of diffusion material. These umbrellas provide great flexibility and creative options.
