Studio Lighting


As I played with the lighting in this assignment, I found that I could make one half of someones face look dark and the other half look light. This made me think of the lighter and darker sides of humanity. I tried to capture those to sides and the very thin line in between them by using lighting. 

The first picture I captured the whole face, showing a light side as well as a dark side but being able to see the whole face at that angle makes it look a little less sinister. In the second photo you can also see the whole face but it looks more sinister because it is darker on one side and the positioning is head-on. The third photo is the most sinister looking though as you only see the eyes. For the first photo I used a shutter speed of 1/4 and an aperture of 8. The second photo I used a shutter speed of 1/15 and an aperture of 4. And the last photo I used a shutter speed of 1/4 and an aperture of 8. They where all shot using a Nikon D3100.
