EVER WANTED TO BUY STUDIO LIGHTING?
THOUGHT TO YOURSELF, I CAN DO THAT - EASY!
THINK AGAIN!!!
I have just purchased a second hand Bowens Esprit 500 kit, It cost £500 so not back pocket change, it took a while to gather the money together,
Around a year ago I started watching videos on #YouTube of professionals tutorials on lighting and creative portraits. I WATCHED A LOT! and it was every day. The more I watched the more I thought to myself, I want to do this- This is something I could see myself doing as a side job and with the hopes of making a little bit of money as well.
I only got this kit yesterday-Friday 19.06.15. It is much harder than I thought, REALLY HARD! somehow I thought I would pick it up straight away and I would be advertising my services on my Facebook page in no time. THINK AGAIN LEWIS.
I set the kit up in my living room and sat my son down for a quick test shoot. All photos were blown out. or totally black, After messing with settings and power output on the lights I managed to get a couple of shots I was after....
I have included a mono conversion and colour image.
There far from great, very NOISY for a start and maybe over edited as I couldnt get the LOW KEY look to work as good.
Today I had another half and hour to try ad capture some images.....came up with these
