Portrait photography mood board of various photographers work –
I really like the bottom left ones, which were taken by David Bailey, this is because they are very simply taken within a studio and turned into black and white, which makes the finer details stand out more about the models and how they are posing. It creates an individual story for each of them, which makes you wonder who they are and why they are having their picture taken.
These are the camera settings which I will experimented with for the photoshoots:
Camera settings (flash lighting)
Tripod: optional
Use transmitter on hotshoe
White balance: daylight (5000K)
ISO: 100
Exposure: Manual 1/125 shutter-speed > f/16 aperture
– check settings before shooting
Focal lenght: 105mm portrait lens
Camera settings (continuous lighting)
Tripod: recommended to avoid camera shake
Manual exposure mode
White balance: tungsten light (3200K)
ISO: 400-1600 – depending on how many light sources
Exposure: Manual 1/60-1/125 shutter-speed > f/4-f/8 aperture
– check settings before shooting
Focal length: 50mm portrait lens
