3 Point Lighting

What is 3 Point lighting?

3 Point lighting is the process of capturing the subject with maximal yet effective lighting, controlling shadows and shade.

This process involves a hair light, fill light and a key light, all positioned as shown in the diagram below.

Selected Image Editing

for this project, I wanted to explore more creativity with my editing, while not going too overboard

Here is an original photo

For this photo, I am going to lower the exposure slightly, increase the cyan colour within the image and apply a distorted filter over the top to give off a lo-fi effect.

Here is another image

I decided to use the ring light asĀ  a frame to almost isolate the subjects face and create high contrast effects with the ring light and a slight shadow effect on the subjects face while maintaining the 3 point lighting. However, I find the image way too bright so I will edit it accordingly

For this image I simply just lowered the exposure and slightly altered the vibrance.
