Today on Set

Today we are shooting a beauty assignment with a great models.  Here is one of the behind the scenes images from today's shoot.  Our models is new but very attractive and very talented.  When I'm working on assignments like this I usually work with two lenses and my lenses of choice today are the 85mm and 100 macro lens.

The first shot of the day is always either a gray card or color checker passport.  Today we used the color checker to set our color balance.  It is essential to always start with a reference for color because everything affects your color balance, the walls, ceiling color and height, floor, etc.  If you are always shooting in the same location, studio, etc but using different gear you also need a color checker because each lens you use will be different as well.  My 85 is very different than my 100 macro lens but as long as I am aware of this I can match them in post.
