Hello Photosiasts,
I have just asked someone to model for me or model his Tatoos for me.
He has got some on his arm and shoulder and it is black and white. His skin is light coloured.
Can you help me in setting up lighting for this to start. In this I must say thay my resources are very limited. I have a desent flash with the special diffuse and tele covers, but that is not dedicated to the camera.
Secondly posing conditions so I will get the best out of it. Would it be something to be posing to a black background or better to a light background.
I have a 18-70 lens 3.5-5.6 for the camera that I will use as my 70-210 is old and not good in low light. O to be complete I have a Sony A-200 so basic.
Also on the use of the tripod should I use it or will this only impede the getting the correct composition.
On top of this all, it will be my first official portrait kind of pictures specially set up. Never done a portrait other than candid work on birthdays and holidays. My goal is to improve my knowledge and skills so I can climb in the line of Photography so your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your feedback,
TJD
