Episode description

Episode 5. If you want better photographs the 2 tools we talk about in this episode will get you there so much faster. These 2 tools, the X-rite color checker and the light meter, are essential for accurate colors, white balance, and desired lighting in your portrait photography. For all the money photographers spend on gear, presets, videos, webinars , and tutorials, and for all the time she dedicate to learning to take better photos, it makes sense to invest in tools and gear that really make a difference and make things easier. Not only do these 2 tools improve the photoshoot by saving time and reducing in-camera adjustments, but they help to decrease post processing time because white balance, light power, and color are accurate. These tools also help you save money if you send your photos out for professional retouching and your retoucher bills based on time and or includes a fee for white balance adjustments. 

While each one of these represents a significant step in taking professional grade images, the combination of the two will be something you consider indispensable once you realize the power and significance of having and using them both.
