ESSENTIAL INFO
HOW DOES IT WORK?
This event is an opportunity for you as photographer to work closely with each model. You will be working with Retro Rob in a group of five photographers for an hour and a half in studio and then swapping over to work with Baby Daisy in a different studio. We will be using two studio spaces in the mill for classic portraiture.
LIGHTS/ACTION?
Lighting equipment will be provided in each studio for use during both sets. The use of equipment is included within your admission price. On each set we will be designing a lighting setup to suit the character. Lights will either be continuous lights or studio/strobe lighting with triggers and modifiers for your use. If you require assistance using the lights provided then we will be on hand to provide expertise.
