Maybe we should develop & market a sunscreen for this. Maybe this an untapped niche market?!
The lights you are using are probably tungsten
Are you using a digital camera or 35mm?
small suggestion if using a digital camera no need to use tungsten lights unless you like the tan
35mm. There are still quite a few faculty who use slides.
Yeah know, at a workshop I attended at VRA last March, it was recommended to use strobes. They flash only when you need them and give you a better “white” quality, whereas tungsten lights have a yellow palor. We have tungsten, and the room we shoot in gets so hot, when I’m cold I shoot images. Haha!
