Photography - Task 3


Aim - 

Produce three studio portraits, two using the chiaroscuro lighting techniques demonstrated in the workshop (i.e. one Rembrandt and one Caravaggio) and one in the lighting technique of your own choice. All 3 images must be captured in RAW format and mastered as a Smart Object in TIF or PSD file format as outlined in workshop one). Use the techniques demonstrated in the portrait workshop to consider the quality, quantity and direction of light in relation to the subjects pose and this influences the composition of the portrait (e.g. broad and narrow light direction, subject pose and space around the subject and camera and lens settings.)



I took all images for this  on manual . 1/60 100 iso  and changed the fstop depending on the light set up using a light meeter  i took them in both raw and jpeg  once edited i saved them as a tiff file. I dont know why i took them all in landscape i just preferred it to portrait, which was stupid because they are meant to be portraits, if i was to do it again id take them portrait.

I ended up doing 4 different types of lighting

Split lighting 

To take this image i put the light at 90 degres from nicks face on a high setting with a large soft box on it.  Nick was stood about 3ft away from the back ground to separte him and i was then stood about another 3 foot away from him

The purpose of this lighting is to add drama so i put him in a dramatic stance. 



Rembrant 


I lit this on the narrow side of nicks face so when they light went over his nose it would light up the broad side with a triangle. 

I put the light with a small soft box to the left of his face and fairly close, if i moved it further out it would have lit too much of the broad side of his face

The light was on about 2 and i took this one with nick sat in a chair with him tilted to the sdid then turning his body a little to look like that 


Carivagio 


I took this one similar to the rembrant how ever  i move the soft box further out so it lit up more of her face  but becuase it was on the narrow side of her face it kept the dark shaddow on the broad sid. 


rim light 


To take this image i place a brght light with a head reflector on behind kat and then used a really dull soft box on the front of her face so you could see her
