- Lighting one subject
- Lighting groups
- Lighting backgrounds
- Putting it to work
FACTUAL: This photo was taken by a photographer named John Hedgecoe. This is an image of 'Hair Sculpting' It was taken by a very talented hair dresser called Leighton. This design of hair used Dynal fibre.
CONTEXT: This photo is set in a studio, or just in front of a plain wall. It is set in a time which could be either day or night this is not shown in this photo because the photo has been taken in black and white to really show off the hair style. As this is the main focus of this photo.
TECHNICAL: In this photograph, the lighting is directed at the woman's right shoulder. Although the main point on interest in the photo is her hair, because it is to promote Leighton's 'Hair Sculpting' creations. Although the lighting is based upon her right shoulder, it does not pull focus away from the woman's hair.
AESTHETICS: This is a good photo. I like the way the woman is positioned in the shot, and i like the way the lighting strikes her shoulder. In this photo her shoulder provides another point on interest rather than just the focal point being placed upon her hair. I like the way that this photo has been produced in black and white because it shows simplicity and really brings out the main objective of the photo.
EXAMPLE:
BUTTERFLY LIGHTING: Butterfly lighting is aptly named for the butterfly shaped shadow it creates under the nose, by placing the main light source above and directly behind the camera. The photographer is effectively shooting underneath the light source for this pattern. It is used most commonly with glamour models and to create shadows under cheeks and chins.

REMBRANDT LIGHTING: Rembrandt lighting is named after the painter Rembrandt. This is because he often used this pattern of lighting in his paintings. Rembrandt lighting is identified by the triangle of light on the cheek. To create a proper picture using Rembrandt lighting, you have to make sure the eye on the shadow side of the face has light in it, and has a catch light.Links of websites that i found using whilst creating this post:
