Hi, people
Is there anything I should know before starting to take my own facial pictures?
I am specially worried about lighting and makeup. I will not have the chance to work with natural light so some advice about how to correctly use flash will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
The best is to take an Professional DigitalRefexCamera (like Nikon D200 with 8 takes/sek) and an powerful Fashlight ...then your can make photos with flying cum :-)
Of you won´t, a cheaper one works too.
Try to seperat the flash to take photos those like all are not laminar exposed
sorry my bad english
I owe an average digital camera so no flying cum pictures, I am afraid...
Also, I cannot use an independent flash... Do you know any trick to avoid laminar exposition with built-in flash cameras?
Thanks for your help!
Try an white background, also left and right in order to get one evenly illuminating.
white backroud? in background of the girl?Quote:

there many kind (you will need 1 that fits your camera)- but make sure it will need to be as far as it can from the flash itsalf.
so use 1 that can work in that way
2. take a stop or a stop& half at the flash +/- menu
that will ake the pic less harsh
i hope it helps
What about the make-up. Water proof good?
Took the words right out of my mouth. Diffusion is imperative, otherwise fluid is way to reflective.Quote:
