In this video, I'm going to show you guys
how I do what I call my 'Parking lot
portraits'! It is basically a studio look
but it's actually shot outdoors using
available light. It's going to be a lot of
fun let's check it out.
Welcome back to The Breakdown my name is Miguel Quiles.
I am here today in New Jersey
with the beautiful Anna, and we're
going to be shooting some portraits
outdoors, here in my parking lot, and this
is something that if you like the look
of studio shots, but maybe you don't have
studio lighting, then it's okay, we can
totally fake that look using available
light! So today I'm very fortunate, I'm
actually here with the new Sony a7 RIII,
and this camera was just recently
announced. It is actually a prototype,
however it is still functioning.
Everything is working great. I also have
the new 24 -105 f/4 G Series lens from
Sony, and so today this is what I'm going to
be using for all of these portraits. Now
let's talk really quickly, and let me
break down the setup for you. Alright so
let's go ahead, and talk about the setup
that we're using here. It is an overcast
day which does help us, but what I want
to kind of make sure that you guys
understand, is that the way that this
works, is that I'm actually here in the
shade. So it is overcast everywhere, right
now in this parking lot is shade, when we
started shooting it was a little bit
brighter, but you basically want to put
this entire set up in the shade and
that's fortunately what we've done. Now
what I'm using here I've got a silver
reflector below, which I'm going to be
picking up, to kind of bounce some light
into her face, to give me a nice even
exposure. I've got a roller table this is
a posing table from photogenic.. I believe.
I'll put that in the description and
this is holding the reflector for me so
I can kind of modify that. Behind her I
have a savage collapsible backdrop, and
it's being held by a c-stand, and so it's
going to move around, which is totally okay.
You know I've got it kind of held down
with some sandbags, and that's our basic
setup now for the camera. I'm going to be
shooting these at an f/8. My ISO might
fluctuate just depending on how dark it
is. Because we are working with available
light my shutter speed is going to be
somewhere between 1/22 of
a second and 1/400 of a second
and as it changes as I shoot, I'll note
that on the actual photograph on the
screen. So with that being said let's go
ahead and let's start shooting.
All right so there you have it folks.
Really easy set up to shoot studio
looking portraits outdoors, again I'm
shooting with these, shooting these shots
sorry, with the a7 RIII so it doesn't
matter what camera what lens setup it is
that you have, I'm just showing you guys
what I'm using today, however whatever
camera it is that you guys have... get out
there and start shooting these portraits.
