A Photo Project

I recently completed a project for class that required photographing 16 different shots, each demonstrating a different lighting technique. I felt sort of weird about my project when it was done because about half of the pictures were really awesome while the other half were just sorta... blah. Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple of the really awesome ones to liven things up a bit.



This picture was meant to demonstrate Rembrandt lighting. The idea of the Rembrandt technique is to use lighting selectively so that it highlights a specific part of the picture. The textbook used an example of an old woman reading a book. In the painting the book was illuminated and casting shadows on the woman's face, the background, etc. I decided to use my hands instead 'cause I was too lazy to get a book.



The idea in this picture is pretty simple: use lighting to show the texture of something. I think it actually turned out pretty good.



Another simple shot. Use lighting as a dramatic agent. I think this picture is actually overly dramatic, but whatever.

Anyway, that's all I have for now. If you like the pics, drop a comment. I put a poll up just recently on favorite superheroes, so if you've got one, share it with the world.

Keep moving forward
