Studio Shots.
- For this week i was the model but i was also the photographer for Rahila and Ashley.
The main light was off because all we needed was spotlight direct to her face from a top angle. We use a blocker to create the dark shadows at the back then took the shot with ISO: 200, f/5.6, 1/60
We use the main light to highlight the left side of her face then the spotlight was to illuminate the background then the shot was taken with ISO: 100, f/5.6, 1/40
Arieff was the photographer for me.
-I was trying to remake the pose of late P.Ramlee with he was at a young age.
It took a while for arieff and yong to take the picture because they were having problem creating the shadow behind my shoulder but they got it eventually. Just the main light and few reflector was use to take the picture. No spotlight was needed. The shot was then taken with ISO: 100, f/5.6, 1/10

Experience:
This week i experience another week in the photo studio. Now that this was our second time i was abit more comfortable using the lights. i knew which function how. So it was easier to set up the lighting for other people because i could more or less understand how the light works. During the final theme based project i experience in a whole new way. i tryed not to take so much of action shots but i focus more on the crowd and faces on the bystander. As for the experience i got when i when to the printing shop was kinda of a creepy place but the experience of trying to print my pictures at a different place. I hoping the result will turn up nice.

Observation:
This week i observe that my knowledge on lighting has improve and i can read the lighting in a picture better now. I also observe that we have to be patient when your doing a studio photoshoot and you cant rush doing it. During the Final project i observe that i didnt focus much on the action going on i was observing more to the people around like the subs and coaches around. During the visit to the printing shop i observe that the people there are really nice and helpful. They knew it was my first time there so she showed examples and samples of all the different type of papers and the quality.
Findings:
I find out that the lights are really sensitive and a slight move of the light can change the whole final picture. during the final project progression i find out that i could get my normal candid shots again because the people around still think that i would take pictures of just the players but i since i change my POV to the people around they didnt realise when i was taking their photographs. From the visit to Photomedia i find that the price for each print in quiet costly compared to the place i normally go and print. So i hope that the quality of the print will be as high as the price.
