For just £20ph, you can hire Splash Point PhotoPhotography Studio! Located in North Wales, our studio offers incredible value for money. With unique features and amenities that set us apart from most studios, there’s no doubt we could charge twice as much with less in any major English city—but we’re proud to keep things accessible right here at home.
To use studio strobe lighting, your camera must have a centre-pin hotshoe to trigger the lights. Russ is always available to help, but we encourage new photographers to feel confident using manual mode and to research the basics of studio lighting beforehand. Knowledge in manual mode is essential. You’ll need to stay below your camera’s maximum shutter sync speed—1/125s is typically a safe choice across most camera and lighting systems, and pair that with a fixed ISO and aperture. In the studio, you are controlling the exposure, not your camera.
If you're using a mirrorless camera with real-time exposure preview, make sure to disable that setting in your menu, or your n your viewfinder/screen will be plunged in to darkness. On the Canon R5, this setting is called Exposure Simulator, but naming will vary between brands. This quirk can trip up even seasoned photographers when they first switch to mirrorless for studio work—so it’s worth checking in advance!
