Here are the images from my first Studio II assignment. I will periodically be posting my assignments for the class here.
The mood of this photo feels confrontational due to the models expression and body language and also the direct frontal lighting.
In this image, the mood feels powerful because of the models pose and they way her face is illuminated.
The models expression and the way her face is lit makes the mood feel melancholy or reflective.
This image feels personal as if the model is staring back trying to communicate something intimate to the viewer.
The slight back lighting and subtle flair of light paired with the body language and expression of the model makes this image feel soft and quiet.
The mood in this last image feels inquisitive. The way the model is looking up and the light is highlighting her silhouette gives a sense of importance.
Shooting this assignment was fun, easy and relaxed. Using the strobes felt very natural to me. I'm so excited to finally have access to them! The quality of the light is much more crisp compared to the quality you get from hot lights. After doing the requirements of the assignment I played around with diffusing and reflecting the light. The results are posted below in my last post!
I'm really liking images #3 and #6, the balance of light and shadow on both makes them. To still have a read on the face in shadow and give an elegant glow to your model's form is impressive. Just enough high-key values to draw your attention but not overwhelm the viewer. You did the make-up right?
ReplyDeleteYes, I did do that makeup. And thank you!
