Assignment 3 One Light

Using the 250 watt halogen bulb in the equipment closet, make a portrait by selecting a quality and direction of light to communicate an emotion that you feel about a person. Make an additional portrait that reflects the opposite feeling you have about the person. Explain in writing the laws of light that were at work in each portrait.

Adele is a ballerina, my impression of her is super elegant, energetic and always positive towards things. I use the light source on the right conner and make the entire background very bright and create a dream light shadow. I shoot the picture while she jumping.

This is my opposite impression of Adele, sleepy and tired. I pit the light source right upon her in order to create a sharp shadow on her body with a little light on the edge. The lighting gives me a feeling of spiritless.
