First time in studio!!! Loved it!!! | Studio Photos | Photo Forum

What an awesome night!  I found this group on Meetup.com  I think they have them all over the country.  Anyway, there was a $30 fee to come and it was more than worth it!  There were several professional photographers, all willing to share light meters, pocket wizards, studio lights,… all things I’ve never tried out before.  The 3 hour session also came with a model to work with.  There were about 10 other photographers of different levels.  I was by far the least experienced, but everyone was more than willing to share and help out.  We collectively decided on lighting and what the model was to wear.  Then we each had three minute sessions to shoot with three different looks. My post prosessing skills stink : /  The only tool I could manage was the spot healing and some color adjustments.  Hopefully, I can find a class soon on PSCS6.  Anyway,  I hope you all can find a Meetup group to try this if you’re interested. One thing I came out of this night was watching the pros deal with the model.  They made it look so easy, asking her to ‘turn this way’, ‘drop your shoulder’…. I didn’t tell her what to do at all, but she seemed to know what she was doing anyway.  I think this is one of the many key skills to looking more professional.
