Studio Lighting for Film Tutorial

Since arriving in Japan I have become an avid member of a group known as the Film Shooters Collective which was started by a fellow Yokosuka spouse.  I was put in charge of writing an article about studio lighting for film photography which was the inspiration for this photo shoot.  Even though my favorite film camera is better suited to landscapes than people I decided to put it to the test for this.  In order to not miss an opportunity to get as many great photos of the beautiful Madison as I could we shot our only 8 frames of film and then ran with the digital, which is what you see here. We really started rocking later in the session and I wish I had captured some of those images with the old camera.  Film is a great way to slow down and think about photography with a different approach.  Perhaps I should have had more faith in my ‘landscape’ film camera, I think the film images turned out great too.  Check out the film images and read the article!
