One flash, three studio lighting styles

admin — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 15:29:12 +0000

Studio lighting can be complex for a photographer to learn, but by starting with a single light you can produce some excellent results without getting bogged down with complex lighting setup.

In this video Gavin Hoey (me) shows you three easy to use lighting setups, all of which only use a single flash head.

The first is a beauty dish attached to a boom arm placed directly above the subject.

The second has a medium sized softbox placed at 90 degrees to the subject.

The third set up uses a honeycomb grid to make a raking beam of light, that hits both the background and subject.

Many thanks to Hasselblad UK for both the loan of their London studio and the H4D-50 camera

University fees and student loan advice for parents

admin — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:14:34 +0000

Since the new university fee structure was announced earlier this year, concern has grown amongst parents and students alike that attending university may become too expensive an option to consider. There is a danger that the increase in university fees and the level of misunderstanding around the new university loan structure could result in fewer bright students opting to attend university.
There’s no doubt a degree is an investment these days, but a new study of British millionaires shows it’s still very much worth pursuing. Skandia’s Millionaire Monitor report found that two thirds of British millionaires were educated to degree level, with a third achieving a Masters degree.
Martin Lewis, who is heading up the Independent Taskforce on Student Finance Information, believes with the right financial advice and long term planning it is possible for parents to ensure their children can attend university without either themselves or their children having to live with unmanageable debt for years to come. Whilst he admits parents and students have a right to be concerned about the fee increases, he also believes there is a lot of misinformation floating around.

In the following video he gives parents up-to-date advice and information to make an informed decision about whether university is a feasible financial option for their children. Dr Terry Fish, Head of Twynham School, Christchurch, Dorset also gives his views on why further education really is still worth it, while Jo Rimmer from Skandia reveals more from the research.

admin — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 04:21:10 +0000

A white background will photograph grey unless you light it. So in this video I demonstrate the problem and my lighting solution, using three studio lights.

I must thank Hasselblad UK for the loan of the studio and the H4D camera that I used in this video.
