Lighting

For this assignment we learned about the lighting techniques. There are many different types: Frontal, side, 3/4ths, and back. There are also direct lighting and diffused. in my photos i incorporated most of these techniques with MJ and studio light, also with hannah and kiley with natural light. These photos show many different lighting types and the difference between studio lighting and natural lighting. i had dificulties trying to reflect and diffuse natural light where as with studio light it was easier. I also had to change my white balance to tungsten so my photos wouldnt come out with an orangish tint. so many different techniques were used in my photos which reflected my hard work. In class we also learned how to blur the skin because in most magazines and photos of people the photographers blur the skin to make it look clear and neat. so I have an image of hannah after i blurred the photo. My theme was incorporated with my natural light photos because it deals with humanity and the basics of life. since hannah and kiley are my friends it shows friendship as a subtheme of my actually theme. i enjoyed this assignment and how it got me to use different lighting types and angles.
