studio lighting shoot

rembrandt lighting

I like how this image turned out as you can slightly see the triangle underneath the models left eye, I also think that it is effective as the opposite side of her face is lit up more. If I were to take more of these images I would change the aperture to make the image brighter and less of a dark background. I also think that because my model is wearing glasses it makes it harder to achieve the triangle below her eye and make it clearly visible. Because of this I am happy that you can slightly see it, however I think that the background also doesn’t help with the triangle.

butterfly lighting

For my butterfly images I used a studio light with the diffuser box on it to spread the light. I placed the light centrally above the model to create the shadows underneath her features. I also too the image head on, sitting directly in front of her. I am happy with how these images turned out as I think that they are very effective with the shadows making her face appear slimmer and add some detail to the image. I prefer the colour of the background on these image compared to the rembrandt lighting as it is softer and make the image less dramatic.

Lastly, I tried to re create Chiaroscuro lighting. To achieve this effect I used a studio light with no attachment on it and placed it behind the model so that when the flash went off it created a little highlight behind her. I like how these images turned out as they are quite eerie and dramatic how you can only see the line around her and the left side of her face slightly. I think this makes the images effective as she is almost hidden.
