exposure compensation

18/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Exposure compensation is a way of making an image brighter or darker. The light meter in the viewfinder indicates if the light coming into the lens is too bright or too weak depending on a few factors, shutter speed, aperture and ISO. A correctly exposed image would show on the light meter with the indicator line in the middle, if its underexposed the indicator line will be to the left e.g. -1. If the image is over exposed the indicator will be to the right e.g. +1. This can be used as a technique to underexpose the background whilst keeping the foreground correctly exposed, if the image was a portrait then this technique would make the subject in the foreground pop. I enjoyed experimenting with this and I will be using it in combination with other techniques such as flash.

Wedding and bookings

I am available for Weddings, Festivals, Gigs, Band shoots, individual portrait shoots, family/ group shoots, videography, dance videos.


Being a Photojournalist I have been trained to work fast and accurately and along side the journalistic approach I am also capable of being able to create a project with you. The documentary side to my practice means that I have the patients and the vision of helping create long term projects, such as books, exhibitions, public talks, documentaries etc.

It is your ideas I am interested in. For a shoot if you have an idea, a vision, it is my aim to try and get as close as possible to what is in your head and bring it into reality. That way you are happy and we are all actively creating something new and meaningful.

Interested in creating something together? Unsure about something? Or simply want to ask me something photography related then give me a message, always motivated to listen.
