I've got to do a shoot next week for a new gym. Covering portrait shots and equipment shots and shots of the whole business.
Any advice on lighting, backdrops or angles and interesting composition would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

TPE is great for that. The desktop version is free, the phone app costs little.Quote:

I recently shot at a private gym. The large number of mirrored walls made the lighting very difficult to control. The black floor mats and matte black ceiling absorbed everything else. Could be fun!
All I can say is, the softer the lighting the better, mirrors will reflect everything (unless it's one of those stupid gyms that don't have mirrors).
That, and make sure there's a lot of oil and/or sweat on all those hot bodies when you shoot them.
Sounds like it could be a bit challenging as well, thanks for the advice.Quote:
