As a model to be involved in a remote shoot, what kind of equipment is required and can it be costly? Also, without sounding stupid, how does it all work apart from the obvious?
I’ve managed a couple of self portraits as I’ve only had a camera for about a month and half.
I am now part of a support bubble with my partner and he’s a professional photographer and we are planning a studio shoot next weekend on his premises.
I’m still nervous about working with other photographers even with social distancing in place and outdoors and was thinking if remote shooting would be an option for myself.
Thanks
Hi Little Wren,
You mention you have a camera already, you'll need a cable to connect your camera to a laptop, also a tripod. You can use natural light, continuous lights or strobes.
Then you'll need tethering software, this depends on what camera model you have. I have a Canon so I use EOS Utilities 3.
Then you need to choose a way to connect with the photographer, I use Zoom to give remote control to the photographer so that they can control the screen.
I have a couple of pages on my website which might help. https://www.natashajbella.co.uk/shoot-tethered
And an image here to show you what my screen looks like during a remote shoot.
(I made this as one whole image, it's just the top half that is on the screen.)
