10 Big-time operator

If you’re at college you may be able to borrow some high-end equipment. I recommend a 50mm camera, soft box and tripod, camera remote control, and a computer with Live Shooting Mode software loaded. This shot was taken with a Canon 5Ds using Digital Photo Professional software, which shows what my camera sees live on a computer screen. This enables me to study smaller details, such as the expressive gestures of the model’s hands while shooting with a remote control.

One of the simplest ways to get your direction across clearly is to act it out for the model beforehand
