How do you change your camera settings when you want to photograph a black person?

But to answer your question, full auto

I don’t take picture of black “people”

Try exposing to the right

Bump up the shadows in post. Tone adjustment in the curve profile works wonders too.

You guys aren't being racist on 4chan are you? We don't tolerate racism here.

isn't that whitewashing though? how do I photograph them without erasing their culture?

>>4502169
You don't. There's no camera in this world that's designed and made for them by any techno congrlomerate because there's no black worth taking photos of

Maybe I'm too contrarian but it's not even edgy anymore. All these Johnny-come-latelys weren't racist 10 years ago when it was actually subversive and are riding on the coattails of better men.

Photos of blacks? = Ektar
Photos of chinks? = Tmax

I usually meter off the lightest skinned subject in the frame. I don't concern myself when black people look black. I shoot for fidelity. If I want to lie to the world I'll make her look more human in post.

be mindful of face shine when you expose for skin tones

Use the same settings as your scene, same reason why an incident meter doesn't care what shade an object is

Ai? Or got a name or more pics? I m really curious if she really has blue eyes or her black is that black
Looks like a white woman with black skin.
O know some blacks from east africa have white features, no big lips noses or look like monkeys but this one is too extreme
Reverse image search brings nothing

>white features
Looks like AI but white women don't have flat noses or thick lips like that.

I'd bump up the right ones shadows in post if you're picking up what I'm putting down

If I were to to shoot a darkie I would blast them with a fill flash to illuminate them if lighting needed it. Negroes can be quite dark at times, but you know what else is dark? Actual "black" objects like a mousepad, a camera body, lens, etc and you know what? those photograph just fine. Same with literal coal miners covered in fucking coal. It's all just shades of grey and unless it's something like vantablack, it's not pure black, and your camera should pick up details just fine.

Every single instance of a darkie in a photo or video being too dark to see (when not clearly in shadow in a high contrast scene) is literally just overbaked fake contrast added in post-processing or a camaera preset used by retarded JPEG shooters that crushes shadows and applies non-linear curves that crush shadows and highlights.

If you want inky blacks, you need a scene with real contrast. A black person standing next to a lighter skinned person, including a literal albino, is never and was never high contrast scene.

Pic related is more how that image should actually look.

>>4502185
Lay off the lightroom or in-camera processing and you won't have to "bump up" anything. Unnatural fake contras is not the default look. That's the slop look. If that's part of your workflow, you're doing it wrong.
