Kingsize
Kingsize studios offers high quality photography gear , professionals to help you with shoots and also four different studios for you to hire. Kingsize studios also offers education programmes for beginners right through to expert levels.
The four studios are really nice and are a great ideal for any photographer wether they are professional or beginners, I myself think the garden studio is really beautiful and wouldn't mind hiring it one day. Just from looking at the Kingsize Studio website you can tell straight away you would be working with professionals who are eager to help you and teach you what they know and give you the guidance needed to produce amazing images.
After going to kingsize it is safe to say they are all extremely helpful, as soon as I walked into their office I felt welcomed and every question that i had was answered. The guy who spoke to us was very passionate about education and really wanted to make sure we were on the right track with our portfolios and even suggested photographers that could give us inspiration.
He gave me http://www.danwintersphoto.com/#/index Dan winters is a well known photographer based in america. He takes very formal portraits of famous people.
We were unable to go and look at the studios so i had to look on their site for information about their studios.
Studio one: "Studio One offers a full production facility including a second space (5.3m x 4.8m) which can be used for production, extra styling space or as a second studio. Included is your own kitchen with espresso machine; generous self contained makeup and styling room; comfortable client area and bathroom."

Studio four: "The Daylight Studio at Kingsize is a stunning natural light studio space, featuring a large skylight (with black out option). Perfect for fashion, portraiture, look-books, still-life, castings, boutique events, film location, and so much more. There are three main shooting walls, with full length people shooting capability."
Garden Studio: "The Garden Studio at Kingsize is a fantastic space for Summertime shoots. We have designed this space to perfectly use the natural light in this spot. The morning is predominately shaded, while the afternoon is increasingly back lit. Soft light bounces off the main wall, creating beautiful light."
For my experiment I went around the student village and pretty much just told people to carry on talking or doing what they are doing and i was going to photograph them. I wanted to make the photos as natural as i could so that is why i photographed everyone in their natural and comfortable environment. At first they would be awkward and unsure what to do next but most managed to carry on and build up some really hilarious conversations. There's only one staged photograph out of all the images and that is the one of Celeste sitting on the couch, luckily she is a performing arts student so pulled it off really well. For my photographs i warmed them up on Camera Raw because I wanted to try to create the warmth that Chris does in his portraits. I then noticed that in Chris's photos theres a lot of lens flares so I went onto photoshop and tried the lens Flares on that but I didn't like them to much because they didn't look natural enough for the scene of the photographs. I then remembered an online editing site that had different flares, the site was called 'Fotor' so I used this to create some strange flares, i'm still unsure if I like the look of the flares or not but I think that is because I've never used them in my photographs before so its something new for me.

Chris Sisarich Experimentation.
When we went to Kingsize Studios Luke suggested some photography agencies, I really liked the look of Match photographers. I found Chris Sisarich on the Match photographers website I fell inlove with his 'Lifestyle' images so I have chosen to experiment with this series. Theres something beautiful and natural about his images. I like how he has used a warm filter to give the idea that its summer, the warmth in the photographs give me a sense of happiness and i really peaceful feeling. When I experiment with these photos I'm going to make sure its not too staged and the people are relaxed and actually enjoying each others company.
