Studio Photography: Analyzing Lighting
                               
                                                                             




The key light is present in this photograph. No fill light was used, since half of her face is not in light. Also, no high light was used. It seems as though 45 degree lighting was used because the light seems to be coming from one corner of the image.









                                                                                                                                                           
 This is a photograph that is taken from the top and it is quite apparent that the key light was used. The back light was also used, since the umbrella is reflecting out the light. There is no fill light used. There is no highlight used either because if it was then the image would not be clear since the image is taken from above.                                                                          









This photograph has very good lighting. The high light is definitely used in this photograph because the hair on the top seems brighter than the rest of the hair. Also, the key light was used and balanced out well with the fill light. This is because no shadows are apparent on the face.

In this photograph it looks as though only the 45 degree lighting was used. There is no back light since the person just kind of blends in with the background. There is no fill light because if there was fill light then the whole person would have equal lighting. There is also no key light in this photograph.

In this photograph There is back light for sure, since the edges of the woman's hair is lighted because of the light from the back. Also there is key light and  some fill light. I know there is fill light because there is not a sharp shadow on the face.









There is a 45 degree lighting from the side because part of the hair is really bright because of the light. There is also a key light and fill light because there are no shadows on the girls face. There is no high light but there is a bit of back light.







In this photograph, there is key light and fill light and they are both well balanced out making the face very clear without shadows. There is no back light  or high light. Also there is a ring light shining in the eyes making them really pop out.











In this photograph there is  no back light. There is a high light which makes her hair look like different shades of red some darker than others. There is also a key light with fill light. There is no 45 degree lighting.          

 




In this photograph, there is the key and fill light. Also, the 45 degree lighting is quite apparent since there is light at one side of the girl. There is no back light in this photograph because the image of the photograph doesn't seem to be popping out of the background.                            









                                                                   





 In this photograph, the main lighting used is key lighting. There is no fill lighting because one side of the woman's face is in shadow. There is also no back lighting or any high lighting.

History of the Photograph: This painting that I used comes from a Baroque lighting style. It is a painting which I incorporated my friend Natasha in. I will describe what I did in each but image 2 is the closest to the original in my eyes.

Lighting: As you may already be able to tell that the main lighting of the image was not altered for the purpose of keeping it authentic and as close to the original as possible. It is the key light that was used which was being faced towards the face. There was also the use of fill light to balance out and keep the contrast.

Image 1: This image has the same lighting but just a different color effect then the rest. It has a pinkish tint to it so the image blends in with the art.

Image 2: This image also has the same lighting but the difference in this from the rest is that it has a yellow tint to it so the image looks older and this effect really blends with the photograph.

Image 3: This is an image that has been altered the most. Although I added bunch of effects to this, believe it or not I did not change the lighting like the rest. This image adds a cartoonist effect to it so the whole thing looks like a painting rather than a part of it. This is why there is a bit more contrast available in this photograph.

Camera Settings:The shutter speed of the image was 1/7 and the aperture speed was 19.
                                                   

                                                    
                                  Painting With Light: Lighting Objects

Although, for this assignment one image was required to to when lighting with objects, I chose to do a collection. Having more than one image makes it look more meaningful in my eyes. It makes it have a certain theme, so a person can get an idea of what is getting portrayed.  I set the shutter speed to Bulb, meaning all the way down since I was taking pictures in the dark to produce the photographs with light. The aperture was 16.

Light as a Subject;

The shutter speed and aperture was the same as the images above.

Series of Portrait images:

The shutter speed of these images is 1/6. The aperture speed was 18. The mood I wanted to keep in these portraits was happy. There is no theme to these portraits like the painting with light.



In this photograph, back light was used with side light.

Key Light was used in this photograph with low amount of fill light.

                                                                      


In this photograph, 45 degree lighting was used with high light.

Mixed Lighting Portraits:

Two or more sources of lights were used in each photograph.
