Photography Hub

I haven’t shot in the studio in over 2 years and am trying to start back up. I went to school for photography, but I just want to make sure everything I remember, is correct.

I use film, so the pressure is slightly larger to get it right.

Main questions:

Which light to set f-stop and shutter speed to? Key or fill?
Using a handheld light meter, if you get different f-stops on subject, what to set camera to?

And any other helpful setting tips!

Light is accumulative, you would set your f stop to the reading on the key side with the fill light on for dead on accuracy.
