As a class we went down to the studio where we explored different lighting, how to adjust the camera to the specific lighting, and to produce high quality photographs. This photo shoot was done with a reflective placed on the opposite side to where the light was coming off, we had used a light box and a speed light, which is connected to the camera meaning the light would only work when the button is pressed on the camera. This system created a soft slit of light, coming from the side of the face. Where as a light box is a form of continuous light which stays lit all the time through the photo shoot.
I wanted to create an image that opposes how it should feel, this is why I have added cool, cold tones to a photograph where the model is smiling. in others I have changed them to a black and white versions as to me that’s what looked best and gave a higher value photograph.
