To understand portrait lighting equipment, the photographer used an online lighting studio to experiment with light angles and positions. For a first photo, the photographer used a single light from the left to create dark contrast on the right side of the model's face, but the effect did not turn out as intended, with the right side not dark enough. Moving the light further left could improve the effect by reducing light on the right side of the face.

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.
