Normally, when shooting with flash/strobes in a studio, the studio is quite dark. Normally (again) you will set your camera to Manual, ISO100, f/8, 1/160s, or thereabouts. With 'apply settings to live view' on a mirrorless your viewfinder will be very dark - you might not even see the model! If you turn off this setting, you will be able to see the model etc in the viewfinder, so know where to focus. If you are using a dedicated Sony flash, and using TTL, things will be different. If you want more info, I can drop you some notes via your website (nice pictures there by the way). |

Hi Bollin,
The background is grey seamless paper - standard stuff in a studio, but I often use pop-up backgrounds (6' x 4'), which are great, if rather fun getting back in to the bag after the shoot! Moving the model away from the background makes it darker, nearer makes it lighter.
In a situation like you describe, I'd set your camera Manual, f/8, 1/160s (i.e. a little slower than your synch speed). With a mirrorless camera you will have to turn off 'apply settings to live view', or whatever it's called on a Sony.
I can let you have more info if you need. |

Another +1 for Audrey's comments. Texaco (Leaded!) petrol and Coca-Cola - can't get more American than that (but in a county named after William & Mary, in a state named for Elizabeth I...) |

A very nice image - I really like this. Your camera settings were spot-on - lots of detail in the stone work etc. I think that the single colour of the sky really fits the image, and I like the small part of the roof at bottom-left, which seems to anchor the image. Thanks for sharing. |
