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.
