Become Better Photographer: Light Stand Etiquette with David Bergman

*For more information visit AdoramaTV YT page, and of course you can keep up with David on Instagram and Twitter @DavidBergman. LATEST UPDATE: David opened up new IGTV episodes where you can ask him questions live! find out more at http://www.AskDavidBergman.com

Today’s tip is about working with light stands, also known as C-stands. Being an essential part of your photo set, knowing how to work with the grip equipment, such as C-stands, sand bags, stand knuckles and A-clamps is a must for every photographer. Our favorite NY photographer, David Bergman explains basic techniques.

Mr. Bergman shares: “we’re using heavy-duty c stands but this tip is relevant no matter what kinds of light stands you use especially when working around people. The most important thing is safety. You don’t want your stands to tip over so always make sure that one of your legs is positioned right underneath the light face in the same direction on a c-stand.”

“The big leg, which is the highest one should always be the one under the weight. Also a well positioned sandbag will really help keep your stands from falling over. If you’re using an arm to position your lights you’re gonna attach it to your stand using a head. The trick with the head is to stand right behind it and face the same direction as the light. Big knuckle – you always want that thing on the right hand side. That way if the weight of the light starts to push down while you’re shooting, it’s actually gonna tighten the grip instead of loosening it and prevent it from falling off.”

“Lastly when the other side of that boom arm is sticking straight out it’s really easy for somebody to walk into it by accident. What you want to do is cover it with either a cut open tennis ball a water bottle or something else soft. Otherwise your mother would have been right when she said someone’s gonna poke their eye out.”

“So remember keep everything safe around your stands by positioning a leg right under the weight and using a sandbag. Tighten the head so that it won’t get loose when it slips and cover the ends of any points with something soft so no one loses an eye.”

Ivona Kaplan’s Kids Photography

About the photographer :

Being raised in a rural city in Poland didn’t seize to stop me from possessing a handful of dreams and aspirations. Ever since I was young I knew I was going to be an artist, however I couldn’t decide on a single aspect. In the end, it looks like photography chose me. I put down my paintbrush, and picked up a camera. Life has brought me here, NYC, one of the world’s most criticial capitals of fashion, a place that insipires me the most. This is where I was meant to be.
