Studio - Final pics

Final 6

This is the lighting setup for split lighting. I had a strobe light to the right side of my model so it would light up the right side of her face leaving the left side of her face with no light.

In these two pictures I have used split lighting. I chose to do split lighting as I wrote about it in my studio technique and lighting set ups and I liked the way it looked and wanted to try it out. I put a strobe light to the right side of the model so it lights up the right side of her face where as the left side of her face is dark. My model is sat on a chair. On the first picture I haven't used Photoshop or done anything to the photo where as on the second picture I have used Photoshop. For the second photo I first cropped the photo down as you could see the background so I wanted to cut that out. I then changed the brightness and exposure and made them lower so the picture looks darker.  I then changed the colour balance and added more pink and red into the photo as the photo had too much yellow and green in it as you can see by looking at the first photo.  I like the second photo more than the first because I have put more work into that and it looks better.  

This is the lighting setup I used to create Rembrandt lighting.  It was quite hard as my model had to keep turning her head until I could see the looping effect next to the models face. I used a strobe light with an umbrella attached to it so I could get the loop lighting effect.

For this picture I have used Rembrandt lighting I had a light with an umbrella reflector placed to the left side of my model. I took quite a few pictures trying to get the hooping effect next to the models nose. I used Photoshop on this picture and I changed the levels to darker the picture up a bit so the hooping effect next to the models nose would stand out more. I like this picture because I like how the left side of the modes face is light up and more lighter then the right side of her face as there's more of a shadow.



For this picture I also used Rembrandt lighting the lighting set up was exactly the same except my models face is more straight forward compared to the other picture its slightly turned and her heads more up plus she decided to crack a smile. For this picture I decided to have it black and white to bring out more of the shadows and to make them stand out more. I used Photoshop on this picture and made it black and white and made the photo darker changing the levels.






For these two pictures I have chose I actually had no light what so ever in the studio I was just using the flash on the camera as I wanted to try something different see how my pictures would turn out. For both of these pictures I have used Photoshop. For the left picture I just changed the levels to darker the picture and bring out the shadow more that's on her right side and I cropped the photo. I like how the background turned out on the picture as the top of it is a light blue where as the bottom is a darker blue. I like how in both pictures her cheek bones stand out and look really nice. For the picture on the right I used Photoshop  to change it to black and white I changed the levels as well which brought out the shadow more and her cheek bones and I cropped the photo. For these photos there was nothing specific I wanted my model to do I just wanted her to have some fun.

 

For this picture I had a soft box to the right side of my model which is why there is a slight shadow on the right side of the face. For this picture I ripped out the top half of someone's face and made my model hold it to make it look like it was part of her face. I used Photoshop to crop and make the photo black and white so the shadows wouldn't stand out as much. I like this picture as the ripped out magazine part blends in with her face nicely. If I was to take the picture again I would move the strobe light so it wouldn't create a shadow on the models face.
