1. Aperture- You need this due to the flash. This technique calls for aperture for specific exposure. between f/8 and f/16 should work
2. Lighting- keep it simple. lighting will, and should, depend on the final intent of the image you are trying to create.
3. Clarity- you want crisper, more pronounced outlines of your subject, the clarity slider in Lightroom can be used
4. Neutral backdrops- nothing crazy keep it simple. Make your model your focus. That is super important.
5. The right time – keep a timer so as not to over expose and still get a crisp image
6. Direction- once everything is set up, you need to explain to your subject how to move. Give your model direction in what to do
7. A tripod- this will give you a steady image and a great result.It is important!
8. A strobe or flashgun- this is the most basic requirement. You need the strobe to produce the faded light affect
9. manual settings- your camera MUST be on manual setting for this to be pulled off properly
10. Patience- It can be hard and frustrating at times. You need a great mind set and patience to achieve the best image
