Getting to work in the studio with less people around was really, by being made to just get on with setting the lights and camera up with just a couple of others helped me made me understand the set up so much more by physically doing it myself. Also with a smaller group of people I could get on with what I wanted to do and experiment a lot more without feeling like I was taking up all the studio time. And the models seemed more relaxed and natural in front of the camera without the pressure of people watching them.
Today in the studio I managed to mess around a bit and try photographing with a black background but without a black backdrop. It took a bit of experimenting with the lights to get it right but I got there in the end. Once the background and the lighting was correct I then had the task of getting my photos to have the took that I wanted, this was influenced by Steve Pyke's work with his Moon Bug project. I wanted to have them black and white with a heavy contrast but I wasn't to sure how to do black and white with capture one as I was still getting use to the software. So I thought that I would do this later when I use Lightroom. I increased the contrast a little but I thought that I would also do more of this on Lightroom so I can see how it looks with the black and white.
