On Wednesday morning, I booked the photography studio to work on self portrait. I also managed to take some head-shots for another student. For some photos I decided it was best to use a single light source, as this would only illuminate one side of the subject’s face. This allowed me to create a darker mood to my images. However, I also decided to use two light sources, which created a much more balanced array of lighting onto the subject, reducing shadows.
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been experimenting with portraiture, both indoors and outdoors. The different lighting situations were difficult to work with, although after editing in Lightroom, my images do look a lot better.
This past week I decided to head to the shops to get more bread and milk. However, because I had my camera on me and the lighting was great (late afternoon – evening), I walked up Steep Hill and took some photos. I then edited these in Lightroom when I returned home.
