So it was the first practical lesson since coming back from the Christmas break. We were briefed by Chris of our next project and discussed a few different lighting techniques used in the advertising industry. Some of the girls modelled for this and they came out beautifully. I have noticed that If you look at advertising campaigns you can see a lot of them are photographed in the same way with the same lighting, so I am looking forward to trying these out for this project.
Advertising Setups.
Things to remember: Camera settings: ISO should be at 100. Shutter speed set at 1/150 and aperture F 5.6 (The higher the number the darker the image).
If there are smudges on the lens use a 100% cotton cloth to clean it.
Lenses used: 50mm (used for the first set up), 85mm (used for the second set up), 100mm. we also used a beauty dish and a 2 light diffusers.
Computer setup: Sign in with student as both the username and the password.

Today we worked 2 main lighting set ups. One for head shots and the second for close ups. We helped Chris set up the computer, camera and the lighting.
The first set up was the one below. This was to achieve a head shot and a bright glowing look. The back ground would come out a light grey colour but the model would look glowy.
In the set up below the model would stand a metre between the camera and the back light set up.

The second set up: The photo's below lighting is to create a close up shot. This is great for close up shots of the eye or the lips. We also closes the aperture down for the second part.
These were 2 examples of the lighting we were shown but it was a matter of switching the polly boards around to create different effects. I really want to experiment with these lightings as I feel these are going to create a really professional look to my final images.
