What To Do Before Shooting: Camera Settings

    One of our first digital image lessons was what we had to do before we starting shooting with our model, and this started with the camera settings. When you're taking any image in general it's very important that you get these steps correct as this can effect the overall outcome of the image, making it not as strong or flattering to the model.

Step 1:

set camera to RAW image, this is important as it'll make the image come out pure and crisp and not compress the image making the quality lower.

Step 2:

the camera also has to be set to manual this is because if your camera is set to automatic it can change the lighting of the image

Step 3:

shutter speed needs to be set to 1/160 because if you set it to 1/400 it creates a black shadow at the bottom of the screen, the same if you have it set to 1/600 that same shadow fills the half the screen.

Step 4:

ISO should be set to 100, this is because when you make the ISO higher the more brighter and blown out the image becomes.
