The first picture on the top left position was the first time I knew what lighting I wanted. I just thought it was so beautiful. The model skin is so crisp and porcelain, but yet the lighting is so bright. The last semester I used very bright lighting and Chris mentioned that they were over exposed and almost faded out the skin quality of my model. When I looked at my last pictures through his eyes I understood what he meant. So with this project I really wanted to get that part right. It is essential to me that the skin quality is perfect. I want to illuminate the skin with out washing out my model. I want you to be able to see the skin and makeup clearly.
I did some research into this lighting. I also asked Chris his opinion, to see what kind of set up I would need to accomplish this. I found that in order to make this bright daylight looking light I would need to make a light box. I will make this from the white reflector boards, The white light diffuser over my model and a white board/reflector in front of my model. I also want to use a white background. The light needs to be able to bounce off of every white surface and this will create the white lighting I want.
I will do 2 test shoots to make sure the lighting works for my shoot as this lighting set up is quite complicated and I want to make sure I'm really prepared. I also feel that this is great studio experience and will help me with the technical aspect as I learn and hold onto more information when I'm physically practising the practical side.
Here is the lighting set up I want to use for my editorial shoot.
