As a photographer, I am having to transform my experience and skills into this world change in order to keep up with the trends and services that I provide on a professional level, from growing the photography studio into a video production space with all the necessary lighting gear, to the actual technical side of shooting video content.

As a professional photographer, with many years’ experience in photography, I highly recommend at least enrolling for a short beginner’s workshop or course

One of the biggest problems is shadow and uneven light, especially in mid-day sun.

Many photographers out there are under the perception that photo studio needs to be commercially based and in the center of a city, well this is a total misconception. This believe often results in miscalculations and disappointment when it comes to the overheads and generated profits.

Individual photography classes, or gain those with a small class compliment are normally designed to focus on each student with great attention to hands on training and personal understanding as to what each student intends to accomplish from the workshop or course. Many of the larger schools or colleges do not offer this.

Many people have a mixed view or opinion on which is better, taking photographs on a mobile phone or the need for a digital DSLR camera. The answer is simple. You need to ask yourself the question, what are you going to do with the images, and what is the purpose of your photography.

Remember, an agency or a casting company needs to present real people to the client, and they offer this through video clips and the use of still photography to capture expression and looks. It is no good have people in the photographs, who when called for a casting, look nothing like the photograph.

Remember different cameras are for different purposes, and the same applies to the lens choice.

It is important for the client to provide a detailed brief to the photographer, nothing to be taken for granted, as the photographers role is not to up or down play the product, it’s to shoot the product correctly, either for editorial or just  Pac specific or client, using the correct lighting and ensuring the required detail and quality is present.

References also prove to be helpful as to where to best position the subject, and where the light source comes from, in terms planning the outcome of the shot you wish to capture.
