Na hora de escolher a melhor opção para montar o seu estúdio, surgem as dúvidas. Por onde devo começar? Qual a melhor configuração para o meu estúdio? Que tipo de luz eu vou precisar? Luz contÃnua? Halógena? Fluorescente? Flash? Quantos pontos de Luz? Quais os melhores acessórios? Hazy Light? Soft Light? Sombrinha? Para que serve a luz de fundo? E a de cabelo? O que faz determinado acessório?
Este post foi criado para ajudar você na escolha da melhor configuração e indicar o melhor equipamento, de acordo com a sua câmera, seja ela digital ou convencional, de acordo também com o tipo de foto que você pretende fazer, seja de modelos (book, moda, nu, etc.) ou de produtos, sejam eles pequenos, médios ou grandes e levando em conta também o espaço fÃsico que você tem disponÃvel, além do investimento que você está disposto a fazer no equipamento que irá iluminar suas fotos. Deve-se levar em consideração que o conteúdo dessa seção visa apenas orientar o fotógrafo na escolha do melhor equipamento, e não deve ser tomada como a única configuração possÃvel.

Porto Alegre é demais…. Faz 4 anos que moro em Porto Alegre, e na verdade acho que gosto demais desta cidade… Tenho saudades da minha cidade natal, a Capital da Guatemala, mas também fico triste só de pensar que algum dia terei que deixar Porto Alegre e ir para um outro lugar… Deixo aqui um video com fotos da Bela Porto Alegre…

| It was felix carvalho, a young man wise beyond his years, who once remarked, “we got everything”. Indeed, in this episode we truly have got it all: beautiful models, glamorous fashion shows, an exclusive polo match, and the biggest DJ in the world — all in perfect High Definition clarity.
In this final chapter of our three videos from Punta del Este, Uruguay we spend some time with dolores behind the red velvet rope outside a trendy beach nightclub. There, we learn something about our visit to Punta: some people have “got it”, and some people have “got everything!”. |
segment 1: polo
 |
|
| The first day of shooting for this episode presented a bit of a dilemma for the mariposaHD team. We were invited to film a polo match at the exclusive Punta del Este Polo Club, which is hidden in the woods near La Barra. Polo is big stuff in these parts of South America and we were looking forward to capturing a taste of “the sport of kings” in HD. However, down at the beach there was polo-themed fashion show featuring some of our favorite mariposa girls scheduled at nearly the same time. We decided to split up. mike and dominic took the Canon 20D and Sony FX1 up to the woods to film the polo match while jeff and tamir took the Canon 10D and Sony Z1U down to the beach to capture the fashion show. On this slightly overcast day in Uruguay, no one in Punta managed to see both the polo match and the fashion show. But now in HDTV, you do. Which would you rather see? |

segment 2: antonela
segment 3: mantra
 |
|
| We follow the action to Mantra, an exclusive resort/spa/casino tucked in the woods near La Barra, for a fashion show featuring Argentine supermodel Ingrid Grudke. In the casino lobby we meet up with more of our favorite mariposa girls and then the cameras start snapping as the girls show off their hot new looks. |
|
|
segment 4: tiësto
 |
|
| There is no DJ in the world bigger than tiësto. He won ‘No. 1 DJ in the World’ three consecutive times and performed at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Summer Olympics. But he’s not too big for a visit to Uruguay. After a long day of filming, the mariposaHD team puts in a late, late night to capture the locals getting down to the big sounds. |

| It was benito juarez, a Zapotec Amerindian and Mexico’s first and only Native American president, who famously said, “Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace.”It is the morning after the night before. For anyone who has been to Cancun, Mexico (where Americans go to get drunk and rowdy) it may be ironic to see that it is Mexicans who get drunk and rowdy in Uruguay. The mariposaHD team is up yet again at the crack of dawn to document a day at the beach in Punta del Este. And what did we learn in our day at the beach? That how we choose to behave is more important than what we choose to drink or smoke. |
segment 1: bikini beach
segment 2: tammy
 |
|
|
| There are lots of hot girls on Bikini Beach but only one of them gets to be our new mariposa girl. tammy is a beautiful young model from Argentina who spends the summer working on the beach in Uruguay. She doesn’t smoke, is in great shape, has all her original body parts, has a fantastic smile, and, most importantly, she has the right attitude. It’s not easy to look perfect in front of an HD camera. tammy does and she’s our newest mariposa girl. |

segment 3: dotto
segment 4: bussola
 |
|
|
| When javier bussola is spinning, you know it’s going to be a late night. Or an early morning. Since starting as a DJ back in 1987, Bussola has played in every major club and festival around Argentina. tamir catches up with Sñr. Bussola in his car before going on to play an outdoor set at an electronic music festival near Punta and we find out how he gets warmed up before a big show. |

segment 1: barbara
segment 2: surfing
 |
|
| rocio is a very popular young model from Argentina whose photos are seen in magazines all across the world. She was recently honored with the title of “Best Ass in Latin America” on the cover of a major celebrity/paparazzi magazine.
While the team is out scouting talent on Montoya Beach, rocio shows us that she is more than just a pretty face by braving the fierce Uruguayan surf. We agree that she is ‘a disaster in the water’ but we still enjoy the great view. |
|
segment 3: mate
 |
|
| After a few days on the beaches of La Barra, we take a trip into the city of Punta del Este. There is one thing that every new visitor to Uruguay notices: maté, maté, maté everywhere!
Maté is an herbal drink, made from hot water and yerba, that is sipped from a calabash gourd with a bombilla. It can have a bitter taste so sometimes some sugar and lemon are added. It is enjoyed in a similar way to coffee or tea in other parts of the world. While maté is also popular in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay, it is the Uruguayans who bring the cultural institution of maté to a whole different level. |
|
segment 4: fashion parade
 |
|
| Back in La Barra, we head to sweltering Personal Beach to check out a beach “fashion parade” produced by fashion magazine Tendencia. rocio is back to introduce some of the teenie bikinis that will be gracing the mariposa girls on the beaches and catwalks this season. |
|
segment 5: solimano
 |
|
| Punta del Este is sometimes known as the Ibiza of South America. When the sun goes down, the crowd hits the clubs and the electronic music festivals to see the world’s biggest DJs spinning.
solimano is an electronic music institution in Argentina. He has been a resident DJ in many of the biggest clubs in Buenos Aires and Punta del Este. Tonight, in a pasture near a beach in Punta, the mariposaHD cameras are there to see how he does it. |

Vorbemerkungen
All zu oft ärgern wir uns bei Portraitaufnahmen, bei denen wir den Blitz direkt einsetzen, über viel zu harte Schlagschatten und unnatürliche Beleuchtung. Ein schnelles Mittel zur Vermeidung dieser Umstände ist es, den Blitz indirekt auszurichten (z.B. an die Decke blitzen oder an helle, reflektierende Flächen wie z.B. Wände, Reflektoren, Schirme etc.). Eine andere Methode ist die Verwendung von Bouncern oder Softboxen, wie wir sie aus dem Studio kennen.
