Tuesday, July 7th 2015: Portraits

8/7/2015

Susi Louard’s panorama illustrates how well we used the great space and lovely light of our current venue for a very practical session, last night. After a short briefing, we split into groups of three, with each person taking turns at being the photographer, photographer’s assistant and the model, to take portraits. Thanks to the efforts of several members, we had various reflectors and speed lights, backgrounds in white and black, a shoot-through umbrella and several continuous light sources. Each group found their own area, with ambient evening light from the windows to use, balance or exclude. We welcomed several newcomers, who might well have felt thrown in at the deep end but who gamely took part, and we found new skills amongst our members - including modelling and piano playing. 

Our plan of sharing the raw images was thwarted by the club software not being the very latest, but we were able to see some of the images which had been shot in JPEG and discuss our experiences. We are going to open a Dropbox folder for the images and will send some to Julian Rouse for use in his Lightroom Advice session on July 21st.

Adding my thanks to those who brought kit to make the evening such a well-resourced one.
