How to prepare a mobile studio:

You can do this in any room in the house that is not used much. You need simple pieces of furniture, such as a stool, for the model to sit. The chair must be placed at a distance of not less than one meter in front of a background that is not embellished with patterns, and this is achieved by an empty wall or a blanket or sheet fixed on it. Make sure that the used material does not contain clear traces of folds or traces of wrinkles, as this appears badly in the image. Also, the color of the material used plays an important role, as you can achieve the highest levels of influence by choosing a curtain that contrasts with the topics in an attractive way, separating it from the background. Placing the chair at a distance of not less than a meter has several benefits: Become an attention grabber in the photo. 2- The shadow of the subject from the main light source will fall on a place close to the floor level instead of falling directly behind the subject, and this will lead to it not appearing completely in the image. Place the camera at a distance of at least two meters from the subject. if | If you move the camera to a distance closer than that, a distortion will occur in the dimensions of the image, as there will be a bulge in the nose, forehead and chin, and the camera must be placed at the subject’s eye level.

3 - Leaves an appropriate space to place additional lights behind the subject for special effects

The ideal mode for portraiture is to fill the frame. And being at a distance of two meters from the subject, you will face some difficulties in filling the frame, so you have to use a telephoto lens (close-up). The ideal lens for portrait photography is between 100mm-135mm for a 35mm camera and 115-180mm for a 120-220mm camera.

Don't forget to use a tripod, which is essential with portrait photography. Install the camera in a specific place throughout the working period. This is justified, when you deploy the lamps in the workplace, you do so in relation to the location of the camera, and any movement of the camera after that will cause an imbalance in the distribution of lighting. Also, the background that you use for your subject is limited in size, so if you move the camera or change its location, you will risk the possibility that a part of the wall that is not covered by the curtain will appear in the shot. You need a distance of at least one meter behind the camera for your freedom of movement, preferably more. All this makes you need a total distance of four meters, one meter between the background and the subject, two meters between the camera and the subject, and one meter minimum behind the camera, and you also need about a meter on both sides of the camera in order to place the lights. from

Use of the doll:

There is no doubt that you need to do some experiments to gain the necessary skill at work, and for this you need a model that does not complain or complain, no matter what orders and instructions you issue to him, and you also ensure that he remains constant all the time. So you need a bust or a mannequin in shop windows if you can rent one.

The benefit of the dummy is that if a real person sits in front of you at the beginning of your photographic work and before you have the necessary skill, it will cause you some confusion, which prevents good pictures, as you will worry about his remarks and he will complain about sitting under the hot lights for a long period of time. capture

Photographing people:

When you have practiced enough to start with real people. Choose

One of your relatives or acquaintances to be your first model, and if he or she has not been invited to a photo session before, then in this case she will need some courtesy and conversation to get used to the lighting and the general atmosphere. You also need to guide her to the positions she should take

Make sure that the model does not sit completely facing the camera, but rather she has to deviate from her sitting a little while turning her face only towards the camera. Also make sure that the model * raises her head slightly so that wrinkles do not appear on the neck.
