Assignment - Lighting

Hard/ Direct Light
1/30 at F4 ISO 800

Soft/ Diffused light
1/10 at F4 ISO 800

Part 2 - Direction of Light 

Light from the front
1/40 F4 ISO 800 

Light from the side
1/20 F4 ISO 800
Light from above
1/40 F4 ISO 800

Light from below
1/30 F4 ISO 800

Light from behind 
1/14 F4 ISO 800


Part 3 
I used a white cloth to diffuse the light for quality of light. The hard/direct photo was more intense and more clear. For direction of light, each of the angle/direction evoked a different feeling. For light from the front, the light is very bright and clear. It almost evokes a feeling of fear, like a mug shot. Light from the side creates a shadow which is quite mysterious since you can only see half of her face. Light from the above results in deep shadows on her face. This can also evoke a feeling of dark and mysterious. The same happens for light from below, which creates deep shadows on the subjects face. This evokes a scary feeling too, like a horror film. Light from the behind creates a sense of depth, creating a clear separation between the subject and background. If the photograph would've been a bit underexposed, it could've resulted a nice silhouette. 


Choice of Photographer - Diane Arbus

For the oral presentation, I would like to present Diane Arbus. I picked her because I've always liked her work and I would like to study it more. I've looked at her work before but I'm interested in learning more about her and the story behind her work. I think the way she captures marginalized people is really interesting. I also want to learn more about her techniques and what camera and process she used in her work.
