First of all there is no such thing as a stupid question.

The clarity comes from the lens. When you buy a lens always make sure you get the most you can afford. A crappy lens will do you no good. The camera is just a tool to snap the photo but the lens is where the clarity and sharpness comes from.

Hi Jason,

The clarity to pictures and sharpness, does it come from the camera or the lense?

Or did i just ask the most stupidest question.

I feel like Mr. Howell from Gilligan’s Island.
This goes to show that in most cases Less is More.

Simply Marvelous…

These are lovely. The combination of the makeup, hair, and lighting combine to result in a really clean, modern feel.

Hi Darrin,

I like to use the strip bank when shooting more along the avant garde lines. It creates a nice even under lighting and the catch light looks “different.” Anytime I am shooting beauty I use either a reflector, sometimes silver or a white board. Sometimes if I am using split lighting I will not use any kind of under lighting. This is done purposely to create a more dramatic effect.

Why use a medium strip bank.. is it a tool of preference in beauty work.. if so why?
