Here are my lighting diagram and pre-production notes for an indoor photo session taking place this Wednesday, December 28th at Dawson's Mech Tech Department. The objective of this assignment is to execute a full-length portrait of an machinery operator in his workspace to be used on a company website or the like. My subject for this assignment is a graduating student from the program.
Pre-Production Notes:
- What type of available light will I be encountering? What is my intention in terms of how I plan to use the available light? I will be shooting indoors under fluorescent lighting.
- What is the reason for my lens choice? I will be using a wide angle lens in order to capture the subject full-length, as well as some of the background elements.
- What aperture do I plan to use and why? Explain! I will use a wide aperture to maximize the amount of light coming in the camera.
- What shutter speed do I plan to use and why? Explain! As slow as I can without getting blur (probably approx. 1/60sec).
- Do I have enough available light to achieve these camera settings? Yes.
- Do I have enough strobe to achieve these settings? Yes, in fact, I may have to be careful that my strobes are not too strong.
- Are there any technical problems that will need to be addressed at the shoot or in post-production? I will definitely need to address and control the color of the fluorescent lights by using green gel filters.
- What equipment will I need for the shoot?
- camera + lens
- tripod
- light meter
- external drive
- radio slave
- synch cord for tethered shooting
- laptop
- 2 flash heads
- extension cords
- 2 softboxes
- 1 reflector
- 2 stands
- grey card
- green gel filters
- neutral density filters
- sandbags
