Week 6: Studio Photos

In todays class we had the studio booked out to take everyones profile picture. Participation from the class was great as most people turned up and was extremely co-operative as they cam down in groups so it did not get too hectic. One problem we had was with lighting as we booked out the soft boxes but they were locked in someones room so we couldn't access them on the day. This meant we had to play around with the lights we had in the studio which were quite strong and harsh but we made due with what we had. We wanted to ensure everyone felt comfortable when having their picture taken so we gave them the decision of how they wanted to stand and if they wanted to smile of give the camera a pose. The students that didn't turn up were asked to email us a picture of themselves with a black background. The images were loaded onto the computer at put into the dropbox folder for the class to pick their favourite photo to be used on the website.
