Samantha's photo album

March 10, 2012. It was just to be a little shooting to show my new tights. Thierry then installed his lights and hanged an old bed sheet as a background. And it became a portrait session!

Let's talk about technique: the shots are made with the Samsung NX11, equipped with Zorki opticals (Jupiter-3 1.5/50mm, Jupiter-9 2.0/85mm, Jupiter-11 4.0/135mm). This kind of camera does not allow the use of studio flashes (no flash socket, and the built-in flash makes two flashes: the first initiates the studio flash, and shooting is done on the second!) so we'll use continuous lighting: daylight type low energy light bulbs, two per umbrella plus two lamps to enlighten the background.

First, I show you my tights! This is an older model, Spanish brand Romeos Faro, size 0. It needed a modification at the inseam, which reached halfway to my thighs. It's Annie, Thierry's little sister, who took care: she sews much better and her sewing machine is much more sophisticated.
These tights allow me to dress short without allowing to see the "mechanism", so I wear for the ocasion this micro-skirt. No question taking photographs from below, do not exagerate!

The photos are saved in RAW format. As in automatic mode images on a white background are underexposed, RAW allows during the "processing" to correct the exposure accurately. First sorting, the images that were not selected appear dark because they have not been corrected:

And here are some portraits, it is processed in a "high key" way, deliberately light:
