As a cinematographer, practicing ones skill usually comes from shooting films, music videos, commercials, etc. In those downtime's between shows though, I like to continue lighting for photography, the same as I would for moving images. It keeps me fresh and allows me to work out concepts and ideas without having to attempt something on a production.
If you can make a photograph look beautiful, your tools and techniques can be easily transferred to other mediums, like film and HD. Shooting on a DSLR offers most of the DR of film and high end HD systems like the F23 and Genesis, so you aren't sacrificing much in the image.
My goal is to update this weekly, and to produce photographs of a cinematic nature, in practicing lighting for motion picture.
...More to come.
