light and dark

Natural Light

Here I was experimenting with daylight and camera settings in order to create the right contrast between light and dark areas in photographs. These images were taken using a lamp and moving around the model with it and with the camera. Moving around the model would light up part of her face and also cast shadows. As you can see from the photos the shadow either lies on the face or the backdrop, Depending on the strength of the light/flash or where the light and camera all effect where the shadow will form.

 

In the darker pictures above the model looks like a much darker figure this is due to the light source coming from behind making her darker.

 

Artificial Light

On some of the photographs the light source is coming from the left hand side causing the models face to light up on one side leaving the other side quite dark. One side of the models face being almost black from the shadow.

 

 

Tungsten Light

To get these images I was experimenting with different white balances to see how this would effect my photographs. I used tungsten light and daylight balances in order to change the colour hue in these images.
