Not exactly want you want, but he is master for classic portraitures,

anyway, if you want to know more about classical portraits lighting, try to do a search in the net, than do a cross reference reading, than you will understand better.

I would use 50mm, 60mm or 85mm.

but if assuming taking full body shot or 3 pax, would 50mm be too far?
it seems to me so.

With a 9ft backdrop and a 50mm lens, you should be no further than 6m away. Not too bad, IMO.

eventually, it's all depend on ur room length. You got to take ur lens and do a guideline then you what you want.

this studio setup hor, had me shifting and rearranging all my furniture.

 

[josho]

If you got to do that full body shoot, you got to move the stuff. You gain the tired by achieving the result you want.

what if i wanna do someone sitting on a couch, but do not want full body.where should i 'theoretically' chop her legs off?above the knee cap or below?
i really cant seem to find the right angle.
this is assuming her hands are placed on the lap.

inputs please.....:kiss:

I think both cropping above or below the knees can work... it'll depend on the framing and composition you desire.

ya, i would have to play with the lightings more.
maybe i shot with butterfly lighting, hence, the decapitation of the limbs is a bit obvious.

i really wished i had all the space in the world.
space contraints is really a prob for home studio setup.

 

[josho]

shoot more for different angle that you want. Full leg, half leg etc etc... For me... I go for half leg and not even close to ankle as a result of 'lost ankle'. I believe its much subjective as well. But then again, shoot more and choose from there.

if you are into fashion and stuff, do check out skyetan's works (can do a search on clubsnap). as far as i understand, at times he had to shoot within the space constraints of the studio and still manage to turn out nice shots.

no one knows ah?:cry:

Still depending on the kindness of strangers ?
Tried Googling it or hitting the books ? I assume if you cannot find it in Google you do buy or ahhhhmmm read stuff at places where the books can be found. *-)

thanks.i'll check it out later.

i sooooooo totally agree with you.aiyo!
the setting up hor....:bsmilie:
now i know why studio is expensive.
each studio session must be accompanied by a spa treatment for the back!

no wonder most guys here go rent studio to shoot.
i wish i have a room catered for that.:embrass:

Can always do location shoots mah. Studio shoots are pretty boring unless you have a strong concept to back it.
