WHAT IS STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY? A studio is an artist's or worker's workroom, or the

catchall term for an artist and their employees who work within that studio.

A photographic studio is a business owned and represented by one or more photographers, possibly accompanied by assistants and pupils, who create and sell their own and sometimes others' photographs.

STUDIO EQUIPMENTS

C-STAND

Metal stand that holds items in place Important to use (instead of having someone

hold the reflector or light) because you’re sure want everything is exactly the same each time you shoot

CUTTER (AKA FLAG)

An opaque device placed in front of a light source that cuts/reduces the light

Works best when placed close to the subject rather than close to the light

A net or screen-like material that reduces the amount of light

Can me metal (hot lights) or fabric (strobes)

Changes the amount of light, but not the quality of it

A honey-combed grid that fits over a strobe reflector light to “focus” the light into a spot

Net or Scrim Grid spot

Black metal flaps (doors) that changes the shape of light source

Used with hot or other types of focused light sources

A box with black sides & soft diffused material on the end that fits over a light source (not hot light)

Modifies the light source into very soft diffused but directional “window” light

The larger the box, the softer the light

Barn Doors Soft Box

Device that is placed in front of hard light source to break up the light

Can be solid with cut-outs or “celo” made of screen

A device of diffused material that softens & reduces the light

Works best when placed close to the subject rather than close to the light

Cookie Silk

REFLECTOR

Any method of “reflecting” the light source

Can be a matte foam core board for difficult light and a mirror for very hard, directing light

The metal “collar” that surrounds a strobe light is called a reflector – it reflects & directs the light from the head

Black metal tube that changes the shape of a light source

A light modifier that can work similar to a soft box, but less directional

Can shoot through the silk of a white umbrella, or bounce off of a black exterior with silver/white interior
