For the first shoot of the final project for our class, I was unable to shoot. Due to high demand of the studio I began to participate as a model later during class. Working with Kelly-Ann on her shoot I was able to take mental pointers as to how I would I want to shoot my own project. Aspects that I believed worked well in her favor include a fierce back-light complimented with another side-light to create drama within the photos. For next week, I must really expierment with the angle of incidence to reduce reflection in my photos from different devices. I will attempt to use a black mirror to use elegant reflections but I must understand that shiny things are better shot in soft light to keep the bright highlights in the shine from blowing out. I will have to make sure that my setup is not in direct light to avoid shininess.
I am so sorry that you did not get to shoot the first week. You can however learn a lot from how other people light their projects.
