STUDIO LIGHTINGCONTINUOUS!-cheaper!-you can see what it is doing!
-produces more heat!-the light can be less balanced
FLASH / STROBE!-more versatile!-smaller setup!
-more expensive!-more advanced setup
-
The Bigger The Light Source The Softer The Light
UMBRELLAS
REFLECTORS/DIFFUSERS
SOFTBOXES
-
KEY LIGHT = main light
FILL LIGHT =!reflector!hair light!kicker!background light
FLAGS, GOBOS, BARNDOORS = block unwanted light

Lighting Scheme 1. Place two lighting sources at an angle of 45 degrees and you will get three-dimensional images.
-
Lighting Scheme 2. One lighting source is directed from the camera level, an other is situated at an acute angle from a 7-10 foot height. The head of a model is illuminated with a narrow back light. Background is lightened with the force lighting source. That will help you to get an expressive high-contrast lighting scheme.
-
Lighting Scheme 3. You can use only one lighting source with a reflector that is the easiest technique.

APERTURE-use single point autofocus or manually focus on the closest eye, deep enough to capture focus on the eyes!!
-choose shallow depth of field to concentrate the viewer on the subject, but not so shallow that it looks out of focus!!
-choose deep depth of field to put the subject in context!!
-controls the exposure along with ISO when using flash
-
SHUTTER SPEED
-use a high enough shutter speed to avoid camera shake(~1/focal length: 1/125 for 85mm lens)!!
-doesnt affect affect exposure of subject when only lit by flash - will determine background exposure or what is lit by ambient light
-
FOCAL LENGTH -the closer you are the shallower the depth of field will be at the same aperture (/8 @ 3ft. = /2 @ 6ft.)!!
-wider lenses exaggerate space, causing more distortion the closer you are to your subject!!
-longer lenses compress space, causing less distortion because you are farther away from your subject!!
-prime lenses (fixed focal length) have wider apertures, allowing for more light and a shallower depth of field
