Idea 3
My responses are largely influenced by Hannah Hoch. However I added my own slight twist to personalize my work and make the features of the photograph more relatable to me. I have done another earlier blog post discussing how Hannah Hoch has inspired me.
2 point lighting contact sheet
The point to this shoot was to ellimnate any shadows using two points of light but also creating them by using two points of light. On some of them you’ll find that I used the flash, this eliminated almost all shadows and on others I had a soft box lighting in front of the subject with a harsher light source coming from the side this made softer shadows. I also used dim lighting with a red filter like previous shoots, because the subject was wearing all black it looked like a floating red head.
Studio lighting contact sheet
Here I only used one light to get this chiaroscuro effect on the subjects face. We also used a red filter to give it this warm red tone to the subjects face. The idea of this photo shoot was to get this dramatic effect of light and dark splitting his face in half.
Flash lighting contact sheet
When taking these photos I wanted them to rough and not perfect. You can see this as I have lowered the shutter speed and some of the photos are slanted. When taking these photos I also used the flash box, this went off every time I would take a photo as it was linked to my camera with a transmitter. I also used a soft box, using this and flash box allowed me to take away any shadows on the subjects face.
