The picture of me below shows an example of a photo that has used studio flags. You can see that light has been reflected on to me before the rest of the light is creating a circle behind me. it gives the photo the effect of the light dying out, the further it gets away from me.
This photo hasn't been edited on adobe light room, the software thats on the computer in the studio.
Again, for this photo below, the flags have been moved closer to the person being photographed. the light being reflected of the flags are being reflected on to the face. This shot was only using the top half of the body. from the shoulders to the head.
the fact that steve was wearing black that day, you cant really see anything but his face. the background is also completely black, showing that there is no light being reflected behind him.
but to also make sure there wasn't to much light, the Bowen's lighting had to be turned to to a suitable level. It had to be comfortable but also enough light being given out to be able to see Steve's face clearly rather than anything else in the photo.
Using a book to take some examples. To reflect light, we used to black panels called flags. Depending on how much light there was, depended on us to the flags for high levels of light to reflect on a persons face.
Both of these photos were taken by using a Canon 5d, Bowen's lighting and studio flags. My group had to try and attempt to make some of the photos in the book, some of them being like these. The photos in the book mostly lacked colour.
Hi
ReplyDeleteCan you explain in more detail what you did please, the kit the Bowens lighting, the black flags which were used to block out light and as abackground, the canon 5d was used with the radio triggers, all this needs to be written about.
Also you need to read the assignment paper and keep the research moving as this will inform and inspire you to achieve better images.
