Lighting Workshop

Hi! I'm really thinking these blogs are great! Having said that its pretty difficult to keep on top of them! Ill be doing a fair bit of updating over this weekend and the coming week.

On Monday, the 10th of October we took an in depth look into different types of studio lighting. I've never done any sort of studio work at all. In fact, I've never even used a flash before! Coming from what I see as a more 'fine art' style, based almost totally around landscapes and the natural world I felt very out of my depth at first. But the workshop was great! I gained a wealth of information on different lighting set ups, a very brief demonstration of the set ups I used can be seen below.

                                                                                                                                     Short Lighting




















                                                                                                 Rembrandt  




Hollywood

















                                                                                Rim lighting




                                                                                                                                                                 High key



















There were of course many more shots, and a few we were unable to demonstrate due to time constraints (low key, kicker). However I believe this shows my newly found understanding of the basic studio light techniques. Oh, and please overlook the strange faces I seem to be pulling in one or two of the photos!
