In photography, a snoot is a tube that fits over a studio light and allows the photographer to control the direction and radius of the light beam.

In the studio I am going to experiment with a snoot and colour gels to light up from behind and in front of my subject with different colours.

I want to create something like these images, also using mirrors and different shapes of cardboard to create different shadows. I will have one light in front with a colour gel sheet and the snoot behind with a different colour gel. I will switch them around and experiment with different angles.

Double Exposure

Double exposure is where the shutter speed is slowed down so that movement is caught in the image, and the subject is out of focus. I want to use this technique in the studio so that I can create double exposure portraits. The images will turn out darker than normal as only a small amount of light will be let in, so I will need to have a large aperture and a higher ISO. I will also need to use a tripod so the camera stays still and only the subject is moving.
