Lesson 12
People on Location
Objective
Restaurant Advertisement. Message is that the restaurant is "fun".
- We're including this photo as an example of the unexpected. As we
were beginning to shoot, we were advised that the model in the red dress
must appear in the shot, however her face could not be shown.
This can be a frustrating business.
- Metered the lights on the wall as we wanted them to show as lit.
f8 @ 1/30th.
Lighting
- #1 A single bank light at f8.
- #2 Fill flash for the front. This is a compromise as we didn't
wish to call any more attention to the fact that we were looking at the
back of the woman in red's head. f4½ (Note the tablecloth is just
barely lit.)
- #3 Lights the little girl's back at f8. Again we are trying to
work around the problem with the red dress.
Cool Trick!
There are times when you will need to accept the fact that the client
is paying the bills. The client may absolutely insist on something which
you feel is wrong. You can throw a fit and walk away or
You can have the client sign off on a polaroid to the effect that
"the photograph exactly meets their requirements."
