Studio Lighting and Portraiture Research Types of Light Ambient Light-  Available light in an environment. Low-key lighting, a photographic technique using a single key light. Main Light-  the main light that illuminates the subject being photographed or filmed.

Diffused Light- is a soft light with neither the intensity nor the glare of direct light.

Name Banner

Name Banner For my name banner, I used different things around my house that looked like letters to make my name. Some examples of the objects I used were: a dog toy, faucets, chair legs, windows and shelves. I found it very hard to find all the letters that I needed to make my name but with the help of my two siblings, I managed to find all of the letters that I needed.

Multiple Exposure

Image
Multiple Exposure This round of photos was my third attempt at this project. In my first attempt I tried to take photos of my brother jumping in the pool, however, I could not get the shutter speed right and all my photos turned out blurry. For my second attempt, I tried to take pictures of my dog in my bedroom but since my dog is black and my bedroom is white the exposures were off. In my last attempt, it took a while to get the photos that I liked since my dog was being very difficult and didn't want to sit still. After a while, she also got full of treats and didn't want to eat them anymore so it was even more difficult to get her to stay still. However, with some help from my mum and by being very quick to press the shutter, I managed to take some good photos that I then photoshopped to produce this final product.

Manipulate Your Viewer

Image
Manipulate Your Viewer Short Depth Of Feild For the next four photos, I set the aperture to F2. This means that only the subject of the photo is in focus.  Long Depth Of Feild For this photo, I set the aperture on my camera to F2. I got right down to the floor so that I could take a picture of the mushrooms from the level they were and make them look larger than they actually are.   Motion Blur For this photo, I set the shutter speed on my camera to 4 seconds. I then put the camera on a tripod and asked my friend Kyla to walk into the photo and sit on the stairs about a second or two after I clicked the shutter. This caused her to be slightly blurred and have an almost ghostly effect.
