Assignment 3: One Light Portraits

For my one light portrait assignment, I shot the lovely Caryn Coyle.

 In the first photo, I decided to place the light in an a wide angle and had my subject move her face away from the light to portray the emotional "distance" I at felt about photographing Caryn for the first time.

In the second photo, I placed the light to the right of my subject. I used a diffusion sheet in front of my direct light source and used reflective paper to create a magical, almost underwater pool glow on my subjects face and her perfectly picked blue jean shirt. In contrast to my first photo I felt no longer distanced to my subject so I wanted to show her walking into the light, almost as if she was swimming up to the pool light in a nighttime setting.

Assignment 2: Three Laws of Light

In one photograph using one light source clearly demonstrate the 3 laws of light at work. Include the light source in the photograph. The subject is the light. Use a dodging tool to prevent the light from flaring the lens. Try to crop out any ridging you might use and make the image about the light.
