Collage Photography

Today in class we learned how to set up the lighting positions in order to get a pure white background  this took some trial and error to adjust the light in order to get a a 8:18 stop ratio which achieves a pure white background.      This is the final two images I finished with how I achieved the was by using a a light meter and auto flash and changed the numbers on each light to get the correct figure. The for this image the front right light was set at 2.6 in order to get the light meter to 11, the front left light was set to 2.3in order together the light meter at 5.6 and lastly the back light was set at 0.5 in order to get 16. 

 Broad Portrait Lighting   This is an example of portrait lighting taken in the style 'Broad'. How achieved this was by angling the light to the side of the person being pictured and angled the chair.  Split Portrait Lighting    This is an example of Split how I took this was by making sure the person being photographed faced perfectly straight and angled the light straight at the side of their face to capture the split shadow. Butterfly Portrait Lighting    This is an example of butterfly this is where there is no shadows on the face and how you can tell this is in the style butterfly is by looking at the nose. How I achieved this was by facing the chair and person photographed straight and angled the light directly in front of there face also. Rembrandt Portrait Lighting    This is an example of Rembrandt this is when an almost triangle is shadowed on the person or subjects face. How ...

  This image was taken while I was learning how to photograph with an external flash. How I got this effect was by adding a coloured lens over the external flash. I choose an orange lens which is how I captured the orange Hugh. I really liked this style of photography especially because it looks like a sunset or sun beaming on Kevins face.    This image was taken using the same orange lens and external flash. I really like this image because I was able to bounce the flash from a white bored to get the white effect but also have the orange lens and I managed to almost get a half and half effect which I think is really cool.    This is the final image I took using external flash with the orange lens. I really like this image as I was able to capture the shadows and light and darkness on his face I think this effect of photography is really cool.

  This is the first image taken where I experimented with flash,For this I just used the camera flash and adjusted the iso accordingly  This image did not turn out well as the subject was too dark but I like the image to look back and compare on. This is the second image I took trying out flash photography. I really like this picture because of how dark the background is and how clear and bright the image of Denis is it almost draws all your attention immediately to his smile.   This is the final image I choose to upload as I like the shadows captured. Although the image is probably too dark I just like how it turned out and at at the end of the day its all a learning curve and about trial and error.
