Introduction to Photography

This week, we were required to have chosen our studio photo that we wanted to replicate.

Lecture:
This week lecture was about lighting. How to use light when taking photo in studio.
Here are different types of lighting:
- Main light
- Fill light
- Rim light
- Hair light
- Background light
Each of these light got a main function.
After the lecture, we went to the other studio where we had to take the photo. We were introduced to the equipment that we will use for the lighting.

Each models got a photographer and assistant to help during the shoot. For the first two photo shoot, Mr Vinod help in and gives us a demonstration on how using the light.

This is the studio photo that I have chosen:

Here is the photo that my classmate Dany took:

Feedback:

A little more fill light and 1/2 stops over exposure was required. 

Reflection:

This week class was really interesting for me. Instead of being the photographer, you are the models. What I realised is that it was not an easy thing to take the photo. It was a really tiring experience but fun one.
