Shooting for colored skin
How can you deal with subjects with different skintone in the same picture? How do you expose?
The secret: forget about the skin tone and expose and white balance on a greycard
or even best with the ColorBalanceCoach target. By choosing a neutral and
standardized target, you will make a photographic decision on fixed basis.
HOW-TO: place the target in the same light as your subjects, aim the card or target half-way between the main (more powerfull) light and the camera, set your camera to “M” manual exposure and custom white balance, read the light by filling the frame with the grey target, set the exposure and do not change it; then perform a custon white balance while still aiming at the grey target. Accept the new white balance as the working setting and shoot.
