Before the shoot, write a list of all the essential equipment you’ll need so that you are ready to go on the day of the shoot. At least a day before your shoot, pack your camera and lighting gear, check off every item on your list as you go, and then place everything together in a visible spot in your home. Bring extra batteries, a tripod, a monopod, bulbs, lenses, gels, and a backup camera, if possible.
I have been shooting with a Sony Alfa A1 for a while, and I am extremely happy I purchased it for many more reasons besides my love for Beauty Photography.
I wanted to consistently produce high-quality images, the Alpha 1 appeared to be a tool that could both stretch my creativity in image-making, and could also motivate me to become proficient in other photographic areas like video.
99% of my studio work is photographed with a Sigma 105mm F2.8 DG DN Macro Art for the main reason than Beauty photography requires a high-resolution camera and a macro lens. A macro lens is a type of camera lens specifically designed to focus close up to the subject with a 1:1 (life-size) reproduction.
Selecting the right camera settings allows you to see the subject’s finer details, from the intricacies of their jewelry to the model’s skin texture.
This is favorite tool that I have to use for every photoshoot. CamRanger is a wireless camera control and tethering device that can transmit the captured images into your laptop or desktop computer, or into an iPad or even iPhone. You don’t have to have WiFi for it to work, as the device that you hook up to your camera acts like a router and creates a network for your device or computer to join.
Passion leads to success
