Serge Teulon Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 (edited) Hi Guys, I've got a 35mm project coming up that includes shooting a model of some terraced houses. I haven't shot models before. I'm going to select a small focal length lens but I'm wondering if there are any potential optical problems that I'm not aware of when shooting that scale. Thanks for your time. Cheers Edited September 30, 2008 by Serge Teulon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Simpson Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 The AC manual has a good section on shooting models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Rodgar Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I had a read and it doesn't really point out any pitfalls There used to be a number of Kodak manuals for lighting and composition that were put out in the 80's. I have some still kicking around. One of them deals with the subject you are wondering about, The Art of Portraits and the Nude, with many examples to illustrate the text. Here, I found them: The Kodak Library of Creative Photography. http://www.volumelists.com/detail.php?ser=...e%20Photography Some of them go for $0.01 on Amazon!!!!! The texts are informative and the pictures beautiful. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Rodgar Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) There are also the very cheap and informative Kodak Workshop Series books, also available through Amazon and similar outlets. These latter kind were definitely oriented towards the more advanced photography enthusiast, but like the former book kind -in my previous post- there is a wealth of info to be tapped for next to nothing . . . Definitely worth a look. Edited October 1, 2008 by Saul Rodgar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorme Jean-Marie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 your main problem will be the depth of field as you film with wide lens to be close choose CF ones "close focus" the you will have a verry small depth of field and possibly the shadow of the lens. choose a verry high stop like 16 or 22 light with a strong and focused projector something like a jocker with an optical nose so you can cut the light easely on your lens. it's gonna be hot on your model ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
