Lesson 6 Three Light Approach

I asked Mark to show a depressed mood. In oder to enhance this feeling, I decided to keep the shadow on the background. So I turned off the background light. Then I lowered the fill light to make the shadow bigger and longer. But in the end, it looks like he is praying instead of just being sad.

When I shot the photo above, the fill light was not low enough. Thanks yuchi, he hand held the fill light with gloves on.

Assignment 4 Size Matters

The first picture is the one I used beauty dish. The second picture is the one I used Octabank.

For both picture, Julie stood right against the white background.

The beauty dish was 80" from Julie, the Octabank was 273" from her.

I shot the picture with beauty dish first. The shadow was very strong and I can clearly see its outline. So when I tried to match it with the Octabank, my goal was to make the shadow as strong and sharp as possible. 

It turned out I got the shape right approximately, but it's still weaker than the one with beauty dish. And during the process, I adjusted the hight of the Octabank several times, tried to find the right angle. But in the end it was still too low. You can easily see it from the shadow of the shoulder.

All in all, I'm not fully satisfied with them. I think I can really use more patience and practices in the future. 

In case, I didnt record the distance right. Here is the picture I took before the set was changed.

Assignment 3 Using One Light to communicate an emotion

In the first photo of Julianne, I want to express the optimistic and positive feeling I got from her. All most every time, I speak with her, she is smiling. In the class, her bright smiles light up the room. So I chose the white background and try to light up the whole space, even though we can only use one light.

I set the light in her left front and a mirror in her right front. I also used a diffusion board in front of the light at an angle of 45 to the wall. The mirror is vertical to the wall. The final move is asking her to hold a sliver reflector and kept it horizontal. Because the angel of incidence equals angle of reflection, the only light source is on her left side, but the shadow on her face is very weak and the whole image is bright.

In this second photograph for the opposite of Julianne, I want to create a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. I chose the black background instead of white and asked Julianne sit far away from it, because I need to keep it in the dark. Then I set the light right behind her head and very close to her hair.

The comparison between the subtle, soft light on the background and strong, sharp light went through her hair showed the inverse square law.
