Photography Muslin
What kind of equipment do I need to take a professional photo and how do I take a professional photo?
I am wondering what kind of equipment I will need to take a professional looking photo and not one that looks like your everyday medioker photo? I am going to take a photo of a bride and a bridesmaid and I want it to look like it is a professional photo and not like your everyday type of photo.
I will be taking the photo for a city fair photography contest. The rule states that I have to take it myself and cannot submit a photo taken be someone else and submit it as my own. Does anyone have any tips to make it look professional? I have an old nikon nt4 camera and will be using black and with film. The photo will be taken indoors and the subjects will be standing in front of a grey muslin back drop. No sarcasm please. This is a serious matter and sarcasm will be reported to yahoo. Thank you!!!
Here is some general advice:
As others previously said, lighting is important. Try to make sure that there are no harsh shadows, or at least as few as you can manage. I’m assuming that you will not have control of the lighting positions, so try throwing some diffusion material (frosted shower curtains work well) over the light. My advice would actually be to take them outside during bright daylight, and put them in the shade under a tree. This provides very good even lighting, and you can just put your backdrop on the tree. If you can’t or choose not to take your background outside, and you have an slr (interchangeable lenses) you can make the background blurry by putting on a zoom lens (even moderate zoom should work), and opening the aperture. The aperture will be represented as a number such as 2.8 or 8. This would give you a pleasing image, with pretty good lighting, and an attractive background. If you email me more info about your camera and the look you’re going for, I would be happy to help you out. You can email me at xor-logic@hotmail.com
