For this picture my group decided to go with silly. What the idea is the hand on the top is looking over the other and the one on the bottom is like provoking a fight like saying “come on bring it on”. In this picture we used a black backdrop and had one light using the umbrella reflector and another light shining on the hands.
The mood of this picture is scary/scared. This is so because of the dramatic scene where the finger with the dagger is inserted in the other hand giving these hands character. Also the red filter made the picture dark and scary. The subject was lit using the filter.
i feel this was my best photo of the day. the emotion is angry and i think that came across well. red is the color associated with anger and rage mostly. i felt it help make the message of the picture come across. also i have a fist punching another hand which shows violence. violence is usually caused by someone who is angry.
In this photograph, we used direct lighting with background lit. We used a soft box to light the hands. And we had a strobe light for the background. We made sure there was no shadow to create a cheerful mood. Because it is cheerful, we did not use any color the change the mood. We used white background with bright lighting.
I like this photo the best. It express a peaceful but lonely feeling. This photo shot is almost the eye level maybe I will say it is little bit from top. The side light gives the hands some dramatic shadow. Also, the position of the hand which locate at the bottom gives a feeling of sinking. The black background makes the hand pop out.
Please post your single best image from today’s shoot with a short description of how you used lighting and color to create the mood of the photograph.
The first photo we took of a teddy bear that would represent a happy childhood we turned up the contrast to make the bear stand out a bit from the background. It was effective in portraying the bear with a warm background so it would look cuddly and playful for the happy childhood. To represent a bad childhood we took used low lights of a doll without its head and had the light only on the head to create a dark themed image. The high contrast worked in portraying the bad childhood feel to the image with the little to no light.
