Studio research

I practiced using the studio lights, camera and backdrop to see what the lighting was like and how it looked using 3 point lighting. I used 1/4 1/32 and 1/2 lighting. I shot using a honey comb and spill kills.

I am pleased with the lighting in this photo, although the back light is a bit strong and would have looked better if it was less bright.

 

 

These photos have a shallow depth of field. This is an interesting technique to use if you want to pick up on details, but not so good for portraits as you lose the detail of the face. I like it how the guitar is in full focus and I also like how the back light is in shot of the first one, it gives it quite a raw fell to the picture.

This picture has a deep depth of field as you can clearly see from the end of the guitar to the back of the models jumper. This is practical as it clearly shows who is in the shot.

I am happy with this shot as you can see in clear focus the model, the guitar and the back light. Although the guitar is in the shot it does not take over the model and the model then becomes the main focus. I like the light in this shot because it's something different and unique, most portraits don't have the lighting in them.
