Lighting Pattern: Butterfly Light
How much fill is used to brighten the shadows? – There is plenty of amount of fill used to highlight the shadows, especially for the first 2 movie posters since they have the element of the drawn characters behind them.
How is a background light used to separate the subject from the background? – The background light is used to separate the subject from the photo bringing as might light as possible to their face almost as if it wouldn’t matter for the shadows since they are not seen at face value.
How tight is the framing? There is a good use of the rule of thirds within the first two posters however not in the third which is just centered. This is done for the concept of the art upon having the 2D drawing mirror the live-action actors. That is why it uses a full-body shot for every poster.

For my final project, I will be focusing on street fashion photography in NYC. This topic interests me because New York is a true home to fashion and with springtime and summer right around the corner people are ready to express themselves through a lot of bold colors in there outfits which I think will be very interesting and fun to capture.
I’m quite interested in fashion and after graduating I want to work in the creative field as well so I think this project will bring my skills and how I view fashion forward and highlight my ability to capture what I like which will shine in my portfolio.
I want the overall mood of the project to be very uplifting and colorful since I do plan on portraying springtime through the pictures. The lighting I will be using is just daylight.

The Vogue Cover is shot using front light. The subject seems to be symmetrically placed in the middle of the cover but in fact, her eyes and lips are off centered giving a view of tallness as her head fills the upper middle of the cover. The look and feel of the subject is one of High Fashion seriousness. The text is linking with the clothing. The view is more of a 180 degree shot.
Wired magazine is using broad light with the subject lit with additional lighting from the back to separate him from the background to give the appearance of a slight halo. The text is linking with the background while the general look and feel is that of quirkiness. The angle of the lighting is diagonal from the right.
AARP at first glance seems to be using butterfly lighting. The subject however is in fact being light from the right at a 90 degree with a softer fill light on the left. The feel and style of the cover is that of confidence and happiness and success. All the subjects for all the covers are smiling. Broad light , front light and butterfly lighting seems to be the general lighting choices for several covers.
