Katie Mould

2. Monday : 3 Hours
13:30 to 15:00 – Shooting facial expressions.
Going to be shooting various facial expressions to get an
idea of the human face. I am going to be shooting this in
the studio with very basic lighting, casting a shadow on
one side of the face to highlight certain facial features.
15:00 to 16:00 – Editing the photo shoot and printing.
16:00 to 16:30 – Completing work record.
This is the type of strong lighting that I want to
use, with a very strong expression that I am
going to mimic. I am going to look at both fun
expressions and more emotional expressions.
