How to Get the Best Image Quality in CLOS Remote Shoots

A remote shoot in CLOS is only as good as the camera-side fundamentals — focus, exposure, light and stability. Whether you’re running a virtual casting, a remote fashion shoot or a product shoot, these tips help every frame land sharper and cleaner.

For the photographer

• Set focus and exposure deliberately. Tap the screen on the area you want sharp. If parts of the frame are over-exposed, tap them to bring the exposure down.
• Use the flash in low light. Don’t fight the dark — turn on the flash.
• Experiment. Try new angles, locations, and light conditions. Variety in the contact sheet always wins.

For the model

• Use the main rear camera, not the selfie camera. The rear sensor is sharper and produces better files.
• Stabilise the device. A tripod is ideal. If you don’t have one, improvise — duct tape, books, wires, even a tree branch all work.
• Experiment with light. Move the device, try a window, try outside. Daylight beats artificial light most of the time.
