Throughout this project, I learnt about a variety of different lighting types eg Rembrandt, Butterfly and Chiaroscuro lighting and where they originated from. I also learnt how to set up each lighting type in the studio. During this process, I also became familiar with setting up the camera according to the type of picture I wanted to take eg changing the mode of the camera, the ISO, aperture etc. I think most of my photoshoots were successful and I managed to grasp the concept of each lighting technique and portray them in my work. I also like the clarity of my images and the quality which gives my images a professional look.

However, I felt that butterfly lighting was my weakest area of the 3 lighting types. This is because in my images the butterfly shadow that should be seen below the nose wasn’t as clear and defined as it could’ve been. So, if I were to do this photoshoot again, I would try placing my light source slightly higher in order to cast a bigger shadow.
