I had my lighting, I had my camera and lenses, and I had some great subjects. <\/p>\n<p>But after spending a few weeks shooting, I became frustrated. In the studio, every little detail counts. A blemish or piece of dust on a product, a slightly out-of-position light on a portrait, a too-powerful flash, an off-color ambient light; each has the potential to ruin the photo and make it useless to both you and your clients. Yet <em>the camera LCD, and even the viewfinder, just didn\u2019t offer large enough previews to check for these issues<\/em>. I needed a better way to evaluate my studio shots. That\u2019s when I tried tethering, and I immediately realized that it was the perfect solution to my problems.<\/p>\n<p>So what is tethered photography? How does it work? And how can you efficiently tether your camera while shooting?<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I explain everything you need to know about tethering, including:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How tethering can instantly improve your workflow<\/li>\n<li>When you should (or shouldn\u2019t) tether your camera<\/li>\n<li>Two simple ways to shoot tethered<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Let\u2019s dive right in.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"what-is-tethered-photography\">What is tethered photography?<\/h2>\n<p><em>Tethered photography<\/em> is the process of connecting your camera to a computer, tablet, or even a smartphone via a cable or wireless app. Once you\u2019ve successfully connected the devices, any new image captured by the camera is then passed directly to the computer and saved in a designated folder.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, as soon as you press the camera shutter button, you can see your image displayed (in high resolution) on the computer screen. If you\u2019re tethering in a program like Capture One or <a aria-label=\"Lightroom (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/total-beginners-guide-to-lightroom-step-by-step\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lightroom<\/a>, you can even make adjustments to your file; for instance, you can boost contrast, convert the shot to black and white, and apply <a aria-label=\"presets (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/best-lightroom-presets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">presets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Many tethering programs allow you to adjust camera settings<em> <\/em>from your computer, tablet, or smartphone \u2013 and you can fire the camera shutter from your device, too.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"the-benefits-of-shooting-tethered\">The benefits of shooting tethered<\/h2>\n<p>Tethering lets you quickly preview each photo on a large monitor within moments of firing the shutter button. That way, you and your client can scrutinize your shots on a big screen. You can check for perfect composition, focus, exposure, and subject blemishes \u2013 and your client can indicate what they like or dislike about each new file.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the tethering software you use, you might be able to apply various presets to the image, so as to better visualize the final (edited) result.<\/p>\n<p>Tethering also lets you <a aria-label=\"organize your images (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/digital-photography-school.com\/how-to-create-an-effective-workflow-and-image-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">organize your images<\/a> as you go along. In a program like Lightroom, you can add notes, star ratings, keywords, and more to each new photo. That way, you can stay on top of your file management, and you can record key information while it\u2019s still fresh in your mind.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-205064\" style=\"width:400px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:400px;padding-top:150%\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"how to shoot tethered\" class=\"wp-image-205064 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/how-to-shoot-tethered-1002.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1\"><\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"the-downsides-of-tethered-shooting\">The downsides of tethered shooting<\/h2>\n<p>Tethering is great \u2013 but if you\u2019re not careful, it can cause problems, too.<\/p>\n<p>For one, you or your client might get too caught up in little details while inspecting the photos, which can stall a photoshoot. When tethering, it\u2019s important to set expectations with your client. Let them know how you work and do what you can to set a <em>steady <\/em>pace.<\/p>\n<p>Tethering can also suck the battery life out of both your camera and your connected computer. You should always carry extra batteries and \u2013 if possible \u2013 shoot near a wall socket in case you need to plug in your laptop. Tether Tools makes an external\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tethertools.com\/product\/onsite-relay-c-coupler-bundle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener\">Camera power system\u00a0<\/a>that can give you all day uptime. It connects any USB battery pack to your camera\u00a0through a battery coupler so you never have to stop your shooting to change batteries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And tethering software is notoriously finicky. It sometimes stops working for no apparent reason, so you\u2019ll want to get set up and take some test shots before your photoshoot starts (so you have time to troubleshoot). You should also have a backup plan, just in case.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, tethering requires extra equipment, such as a lengthy cord and a laptop or desktop computer. So while it might be tempting to tether for on-location shoots, consider carefully before hauling along your expensive electronics.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, whether you tether is up to you. It\u2019s a great way to improve the final product \u2013 but it can be slow, plus it involves extra software and moving parts, so if you need to do a fast-paced portrait session or an outdoors product shoot, it might be better to shoot the \u201cnormal\u201d way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" data-section id=\"tethering-your-camera-essential-equipment\">Tethering your camera: essential equipment<\/h2>\n<p>The traditional and most reliable way to connect your camera to a computer or another device is with a cable. There are a variety of different cables and ports available, so the specifics will depend on your exact devices. (For further information, check your camera manual.)<\/p>\n<p>Some cameras even offer wireless tethering. The image transfer process can be slower compared to cabled tethering, but if you prefer to work without a cord, this is a great method to try.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to tether with a cable, you\u2019ll need:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/TetherCabledPS\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"extra-long (e.g., 15 feet)\u00a0USB cable (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener sponsored\" class=\"ek-link\">extra-long (e.g., 15 feet)\u00a0USB cable<\/a>\u00a0to connect your camera to your computer<\/li>\n<li>Tethering software, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/LightroomClassicdPS\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Adobe Lightroom (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener sponsored\" class=\"ek-link\">Adobe Lightroom<\/a> (paid), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.captureone.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Capture One (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Capture One<\/a> (paid), or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/internet\/portal\/us\/home\/support\/self-help-center\/eos-utility\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Canon EOS Utility (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener\" class=\"ek-link\">Canon EOS Utility<\/a> (free)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019d also recommend a portable table to hold your laptop such as the <a aria-label=\"Tether Tools Aero Table (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/AeroTabledPS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener sponsored\">Tether Tools Aero Table<\/a>, as well as a <a aria-label=\"Jerkstopper (opens in a new tab)\" class=\"ek-link\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/JerkstopperdPS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener sponsored\">TetherGuard<\/a> to prevent your USB cable from being yanked from your camera.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to be aware of: with is the latest USB-C ports on newer cameras, USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, the port protocol is designed to transfer both power and data.\u00a0 Cameras with two USB-C ports may designate one port for power and one port for data\/image transfer, so be sure you connect your tether cable to the right port.\u00a0 For cameras with only one port, you\u2019ll want to turn off camera power in your camera settings so that power is not sent or received through the USB port while tethering.\u00a0 Another option is to use a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tethertools.com\/shop\/tt\/product_cat-cables-adapters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopenernoreferrer noopener\">cable that does not have Power Delivery (PD)<\/a>\u00a0to ensure the power does not conflict with data transfer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-108881 size-large is-style-with-caption\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><span class=\"responsive-image wp-image-108881\" style=\"width:400px\"><span class=\"space\" style=\"width:400px;padding-top:150%\"><\/span><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Tether Table Aero for tethered shooting\" class=\"wp-image-108881 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/digital-photography-school.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/DSC05590.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1\"><\/span><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Aero Table is a lightweight, durable, aluminum platform that attaches to almost any tripod or light stand.
