Camera Use Week 6: Three Point Lighting

Week 6

In Class Exercise


1. Three Point Lighting Set Up

Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 8.0   ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100

These are my Images I took while setting up for 3 point lighting in class. 
The Light Meter that Barbie is holding was used to measure the amount of light around our model, and was used to help us decide what Fstop number we needed or how bright we needed the lights to be to get the best image. 
The Top Image was our test for key lighting. This is the first and most important lighting to set up. Since most of the light comes from the key Light we needed this light to be brighter than the other spot lights as you can see from these Images. 
The Middle Image was our test for the Fill Light. We had this light set up on the oposite side of the   
studio to the key light. (The key light was set up at the front Left and the Fill Light front Right.) This light helps to smoothen or take away the shadows cast by the key lighting.
The Bottom Image was our set up for Back Lighting. For this lighting we only wanted a back outline of light or in this case a back side lighting on her hair, to help light up not just the front but the back of the image as well, which is clearly seen in this image. 

Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100

This was my final image after all lighting had been tested and set up :) 
In Photoshop RAW I took the Exposure and Highlights up a tiny bit.


Self Directed Task


1. Do some research on poses and work with your model and direct them into the Pose.




These are my poses I wanted my Model "Barbie" to pose with. I decided instead of just doing one type of pose and photograph I'd experiment and try a closer head shot as well as a wider shot for this task.  After setting the lights up to how I wanted them, I showed the Images to barbie and Directed her as to how I wanted the images to look.

Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100

These were my outcomes for the close up head shot. I decided since the back light was on the back right that I'd have Barbie facing the oposit way to the diagram, as I thought it'd look nicer with the light on the side of Barbie's hair. Because I didn't want Barbie to move around I asked her to look in different direction for example in these images towards the camera and looking down to the left. I'm really happy with how they turned out :D
In Photoshop Raw I took the Exposure and Highlights up on both Images.

Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100
Shutter Speed 1/125   Fstop 11.0   ISO 100

These are my outcomes for the wider shot. For these images instead of having her hands in her back pocket I asked Barbie to rest her hands on her legs and look down rather than straight at the camera. And decided to test her doing the same pose facing both ways to see how the back lighting looked on her hair. I'm really happy with how they turned out :)
