Continuing within the theme of &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/category\/two-perspectives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Two Perspectives<\/a>&#8216; we decided on using only continuous lighting in the studio, and see how we could create portraits that had a bit of depth to them, rather than just being straight-forward renditions of the person in front of the camera.\u00a0We decided the theme should be: Creative studio portraits with Continuous Lighting.<\/p>\n<p>The concept behind the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/category\/two-perspectives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Two Perspectives<\/a><\/strong> videos was that I get to meet up with a fellow photographer, and that during some kind of photo shoot or conversation, something might be revealed in the contrasting styles and ideas &#8211; hopefully it is informative and of wider interest.<\/p>\n<p>As I mentioned in the video, and in other articles here, the biggest challenge for me when working in the studio, is in making that rectangular &#8220;box&#8221; interesting. And that&#8217;s where you have to become creative with studio portrait sessions.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My studio<\/a> has a wide range of light shaping tools, but doesn&#8217;t have much in terms of props. For the most part you really have to work it with light and lighting!<\/p>\n<p>Marco brought his medium-format Fuji gear along. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuji GFX 50S camera<\/a> (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s-bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B&amp;H<\/a><\/em> \/ <em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/em>), and several lenses. I \u00a0have never used this camera, but the Fuji took very little to adjust to &#8211; it&#8217;s a lovely camera, even though it was unfamiliar in my hands. Something I have wondered about before &#8211; whether it makes you a stronger photographer if you are able to use any camera that&#8217;s handed to you. I&#8217;m still pondering that idea. But back to the photo session:<\/p>\n<p>Our model was someone I hadn&#8217;t ever worked with before &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/julianna.nicole4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Julianna<\/a>.\u00a0Similar to the photo session with the previous <a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/video-creative-studio-portrait-session-two-perspectives\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Two Perspectives video<\/a>, I kept a lot of footage to show how we worked with Julianna and used her poses as springboards, adjusting them a bit as we looked through the camera. With workshops, I have found that many newer photographers are completely unsure about themselves when they have to direct a model. Hopefully, this video will give a little bit of insight into that &#8211; just talk to your model. It really is as simple as that &#8211; quietly talk to the person you are photographing. Make that connection.<\/p>\n<p>As always, comments and questions are very welcome.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/photo-session\/2-perspectives-studio-portraits-fuji\/julianna\/DSCF4367.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"1199\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As shown in the video, Marco lit Julianna via an LED panel shining through a black board with random holes in it.

It felt good in my hands, and the controls were obvious. Fuji has always been great with the ergonomics of their cameras.<\/p>\n<p>The image quality is stunning. When viewing images at 100% there is so much clear detail. Of course the camera handles slower than a fast professional full-frame camera, but I do believe this camera is meant for more thoughtful shooting style.<\/p>\n<p>I opted for the fast aperture\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuji GF 110mm f\/2 Lens<\/a>\u00a0 (<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2-bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>B&amp;H<\/em><\/a> \/ <em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/em>), which is about equivalent to an 85mm full-frame lens. The f\/2 aperture on this lens gives about the same depth-of-field as an 85mm f\/1.4 would.<\/p>\n<p>Since we were shooting with continuous lighting, I couldn&#8217;t rely on the flash to freeze the action. I therefore pushed the ISO to 1600, to get a shutter speed of 1\/1000 so I could shoot hand-held, as I prefer.<\/p>\n<p>The foreground LED panel lighting Julianna, was set to around 3000K, and the background light to approximately Daylight WB. This allowed the background light to go blue. The background itself is the back of a canvas backdrop which has a lot of texture. This helped create an \u00a0interesting swirl of blue tones in the background.<\/p>\n<h2>Camera settings &amp; photo gear used for this photo<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/1000 @ f\/2 @ 1600 ISO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuji GFX 50S<\/a>\u00a0 (<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s-bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>B&amp;H<\/em><\/a> \/ <em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fuji-gfx-50s\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/em>)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fuji GF 110mm f\/2 Lens<\/a>\u00a0 (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2-bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B&amp;H<\/a><\/em> \/ <em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/fujifilm-gf-110mm-f2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>Two\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/litepanels-astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Litepanels Astra 6x Bi-Color LED Panels<\/a>\u00a0 (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/litepanels-astra-bh\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">B&amp;H<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/recommends\/litepanels-astra\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amazon<\/a><\/em>)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/images\/photo-session\/2-perspectives-studio-portraits-fuji\/julianna\/shadow-montage.jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"1125\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A cool trick that Marco did here, as he explains in the video &#8212;
