04/13 Live Studio & Chill Session
Added 2025-04-14 04:14:17 +0000 UTC๐ง Behind the Scenes: Studio Shoot Breakdown (4/13)
Vibe check: Chaos, creativity, and a bit of Capture One madness. But the sauce? Undeniable.
๐ธ On Set Energy
Studio shoot with Tati โ using a snoot for that clean, dramatic lighting.
Mixing in natural light (no flash) and going ISO 6400+:
โDonโt be afraid to crank that ISO up. AI editing will clean all that up. We not scared of a little grain.โPulling out the Milar roll later for reflective โwater vibesโ โ came together off the cuff.
Lighting mishaps, bulb breaks, fans flying, but we made it work.
๐งฉ Tech Struggles, Real-Time Solutions
Capture One stopped tethering mid-shoot, tried everything โ reboots, unplugging, switching SD cards.
โI factory reset my camera... so yeah, itโs probably me.โ
Rolled with it: shot straight to SD and kept the show moving.
๐ฏ Creative Direction
Heavy use of creative posing, spotlight aesthetics, off-camera flash tips, and dramatic composition.
Played with framing, headshots, wide shots, shadow play, and background color pops.
โThat little pink chair? Keep it. Adds color. Balance the browns and golds.โ
Constant coaching: โGive me pain, give me face, rub your thighs like you sexyโฆโ
๐ฌ Real Talk Gems
โStudio setups donโt need to be crazy. I started with a speedlight and cheap backdrop paper in my college apartment.โ
โOne-light setups are the foundation. If you canโt do that clean, donโt even talk about 3-light setups.โ
โYou donโt need the fanciest gear. You need to know why you're using what you're using.โ
๐ง Pro Tips Dropped
Optical Snoot: $50โ$100, multiple inserts for light shaping (circles, slits, etc.)
Favorite studio focal length: 35โ50mm
Shooting ISO: Donโt be afraid of 6400+
Light placement: Off at an angle for depth + 3D feel
Creative gear list: Mentioned heโll update it to include the snoot
Always have backup bulbs โ youโll thank yourself later.
๐ฆ End of the Session
Plans to go live later to review photos.
Had to switch to the laptop cam (mad pixelated) near the end but decided to save yโall from that quality.
Shouted out the team: Hennessy for the set, creative directors, and Katie on BTS.
Wrapped with, โYโall cool with that? Bet. Catch yโall in a few.โ
