APPRENTICE MICHAEL BROWN
CAMERA: CANON EOS 5DS R
Michael, 59, lives in West London, and is a retired airfield operations officer. He’s been into photography since he was a teenager in the days of 35mm film. His first Canon EOS camera was an EOS 600D, and he bought a full-frame 50MP EOS 5DS R three years ago. Michael enjoys landscape photography, but is keen to learn more about portrait photography and studio lighting.
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
Phil showed Michael how to set up his camera for working shooting under studio lights
MANUAL MODE FOR LIGHTS
Phil says: “Although Michael was used to shooting in Manual mode for landscape photos, when using lights in a studio for portraits there’s no ambient light to factor in, so you control the aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and then adjust your lights to get the desired exposure. We started off shooting at f/5.6, 1/200 sec and ISO100 on our Canon 5Ds, and tweaked our lighting power to around half (4.8) to star with for our first setup.”
