How to use a light meter for studio photography
In this video John and Charley Green show you how to use a light meter for studio photography.
When I do studio photography I decides on the aperture setting on the camera, the shutter speed and the ISO setting. Which means I need to be able to measure the amount of light our chosen flash unit is putting out to match my aperture setting on the camera.
This tutorial will cover where to point the light meter and the difference that makes to preserving either the shadows or the highlight details.
Why you will get different exposure readings depending on the direction you point the light meter and where you place it on your subject.
With thanks to Charley Green who was the model for this video.
