Photo Studio

Here is a post I must have missed.  At the beginning of the semester, Mark took us to the photo studio and introduced us to the cameras and all of the amazing things that we can do in there.  He showed us how to ideally set up our work and how to document it.  He suggested different ways that we could set up the different lighting options and he showed us what effects they can give.  I also finally understood why photographers will some times have someone standing adjacent to them holding a reflecting panel.  After being showed how this softly illuminates the other side of the object, I was amazed because I never actually noticed it doing anything. I found it rather cool that we had the ability to hang things and document them that way.  Another thing we were showed was the different backdrops and how the helper/aid in there and help you with anything you need.
After working in there a few times, she is really nice, always polite, and always letting us know that if we need anything, she would help and could answer any questions.  I also liked that if we needed to document our work outside of the room, the aid never had a problem with going elsewhere with you to document it.  A+ all around for her!
