To better understand portrait lighting equipment and positions, the photographer used an online lighting studio. For a first photo, the photographer used a single light from the left side of the model's face to create dark contrast on the right side. However, the outcome did not achieve the intended effect of a dark enough right side, so moving the light further left could improve the contrast.

Online lighting studio
To get a better understanding of how the equipment is used and so
I could decide what angles and positions of the light I wanted to
use I used online lighting studio this helped me to get a better
understanding of how it all worked.
For my first photo I decided to only use one light with no filters or
gels I wanted to have the light come from the left and create a dark
contrast on the other side of my model's face.
To achieve this effect I will have to layout my set in the following
way (Picture 2).
My attempt
When I gave the effect/ style a go I got the following outcome
displayed in the third image.
I didn't get the effect I intended, as the right side of her face wasn't dark enough to
improve it I could move the light further round so less light hits the right side of her face.
