Types of lighting

1. This is our photo using back lighting, which is where the light
source is coming from behind the
object giving a silhouette effect.
We used natural lighting of the sun
as it setting at the time quite brightly
shining onto the courtyard. Also I
think the clouds look pretty!

2. Here, the light was coming straight
towards my face so behind, but
slightly to the side of El (taking
the picture). This therefore gets
the shadow of El’s hair covering
the right (well technically my left)
side of my face making it almost
completely dark. This picture is
also natural lighting.

3. This photo is interesting as light is coming from both directions, both
photos aren't fully clear as there is light coming from behind which
reflects off the camera and so not giving clear detail of the person. This
photo shows how the amount of light from behind will affect the main
subject as on the left there is less
light therefore showing more
detail of me, and on the right
Showing less of El as there is
more light coming from behind
her creating more of a silhouette
figure.

4. In this picture, although not
greatly obvious, light is shining
through a crack in the door
letting the light shine front on
my face, but stops down my
left cheek and then the shadow
makes that side in darkness. We
used artificial lighting here.

5. This is creepy, I know! By putting
torch under my chin, it only shows the
features on my face that stick forward from
underneath as the rest is shadowed. This
shows how creepy things can look just
through lighting with no use of make up or
clothing.

6. Awful photo I know, but this
photo shows how a low angle
shot with an artificial light source
also pointing upwards shows how
a shadow can be made to look a
lot bigger than the subjects. Like
with the sun, depending on where
the light source is coming from
will depend on the size and shape
of a shadow.
