As Malaysia was still under Movement Control Order due to the pandemic, all studios were closed and their services prohibited.
Luckily for me I still had my studio lights at my learning centre (which had to be closed due to the pandemic as well), and so I had my self portraits taken there.
Nothing fancy as I put on my old college graduation suit, stood in front of my blue wall in the playroom (with my suit feeling a little tight, haha), connected my smartphone using the Sony Image Edge Mobile App to the Sony A7R3 + Sony 24-240mm lens and attached a flash onto the camera. Why on the camera? Because my studio flash remote ran out of battery! So I needed the on-camera flash to activate the studio flash instead.
What do you think? Not bad, right? 😉
I encountered mainly 2 issues during the shoot. First is the focusing of the lens while the photos were being taken. The photos may not be accurately focused. Second issue that I noticed was the reflection of the light on my glasses. So I had to try out different angles to minimise the reflection.
I also realised that I was getting too big for the suit. 😂
