Shutter Speed, Rain, and 4K Stills: What This Lighting Setup Taught Me About Balancing Motion and Sharpness
There is a specific kind of shoot that makes commercial photographers nervous: the hybrid job where the client wants both video footage and hero stills from the same session. I have done enough of those to know that the moment you optimize your shutter speed for beautiful video, your stills start going soft. Optimize for crisp stills, and the video looks like a slideshow. For a long time I treated that tension as an unsolvable problem and just hired a separate stills shooter alongside the video unit.
