As you can see here I was struggling, I am unhappy with almost everything about this image. The strong shadow behind Angerla, the over exposure on Trish's face, the awkward shadowing on the wall and the darkness of the mirror.
FINAL IMAGE
After taking more images I was really liking the way the light was falling onto Angela. Here I moved the camera to have more focus on Angela and decreased the Aperature size to darken out the sides and keep the light on her. I like how Trish is still visible in the background yet completly underexposed with the focus solely on Angela. Again, (like in the previous experiment) there is meant to be a certain element of ambiguity to this image.
Now I wanted a portrait entirely dedicated to Angela. This image was taken after a few different experiments with aperature and positioning of the arms. I liked the darkness of it and how you could see the dots in this image yet when I looked at it I thought would could add something small, perhaps a dash of colour and suggested Angela applies red lipstick.
FINAL IMAGE
In this photograph Angela has applied the red lipstick, a subtle difference which I find effective. Her face is leant more towards the camera here that the previous try. The lightings dramatic and the shadows are deep and effective and I was quite happy with the turn out. I didn't edit these images, they are simply built on the manipulation of light which I'm fiding so interesting at the moment.
FINAL IMAGE
When Trish seen the dramatic lighting on Angela's picture she decided she wanted one taken using the same technique. Again the Snoot has been place opposite the subject and the camera is coming from the side. For trish I used a larger aperature which allowed more visibility of the table's wood grain her dress and the blondeness of her hair which contrasts so greatly to the darkness of the room and compliments the warmth of the wood.
Although, I like all of these pictures my favourite is the picture with Angela as the focal point and Trish in the background. You almost miss her image, and then you think it's a reflection. It is only after furthur inspection you realize there are two people in the picture.
ReplyDeleteThe single image of Trish is also very nice; I like how her back and left arm fade into the background drawing your eyes to her face.
