So I did my first studio photo shot this weekend and it was so much fun but was a busy and tiring day as we had 4 models who each had between 2-3 looks so there was a lot of changing.  I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot about lighting and how to use it better.  I did find thou that while it was great to just set my camera up and then not to have to mess with the settings too much was fun but after a while I seemed to run out of ideas and I remembered what one of the first models I ever worked with said, "working in a studio limits your creativity".  Now I am aware you can get some great shots in a studio (in fact I think these are some of m
