Lighting and Portrait Photography Workshop

This picture is a mid shot but is taken 
slightly below the waist was lit 
from the front, slightly below
the models waist also from the right
side of her face and the background is 
also slightly lit. When evaluating this 
photograph it is clear there is too much
light on the model and this is what i would
need to adapt for future photographs. Also 
using the black screen allowed for more 
attention to be dawn to the model than 
the background. 
This photo is also a mid shot taken slightly
closer than the photo to the left. This is also
lit form the right, the back and the front. 
Again I can see that a lot of improvement
on lighting is need to allow there to be more
focus on the models facial features and 
to show more contrast on her skin. With the
model's hair being blonde this also reflects 
the light which adds to the brightness.


















                                             
This photo is a mid shot. Lit from the right
and also light on the background with soft
box lighting I wanted to capture the 
essence of movement in
the photograph to show a more 
dynamic look to the photo. By getting 
the model to flick and swish her hair
about it captured her in movement.
Experimenting with the movements of my
model it allows me to focus on keeping the 
model in shot and being able to work on 
framing the shot perfectly while capturing
all parts of the model in the shot. 
This photo is a mid shot, lit from the right 
side of her face and the bottom of the model 
with soft box lighting. I took this shot whilst 
the model was jumping in the air, as you can 
see from the photo it again allowed me to 
capture a more dynamic shot. I was happy 
with the framing of the shot as the model is
central to the frame however i would have 
like to have got all of her hair in the photo
but it was cut short as my camera angle 
was not quite right. However when doing this
photography in the future i can learn from 
what i found out during this workshop.
