Photography Notes

While being taught the basics of what to do when taking the photos for our music magazines, we had to take notes about thing we should be aware of during this process. Notes such as...

- Models have to stand at least 5-6 away from the backdrop

- All photographs should be taken with the class lights off

- There are 3 flash heads available

- On the flash short spur of light (1), while (6) is the most powerful
