I really enjoyed taking these photos in different lightings because they all created a different vibe and feel to it. It was really fun and interesting to learn how to take these photos and I learned a lot during the process of it. One of my favorite photos is the last one with edge lighting with Kiara in it because it gives a relax feel to it and a really calming vibe. It gives these vibes because of the edge lighting which I like a lot.

Learning Log #7 – Portrait Lighting 1
Rembrandt Lighting
Short Lighting
Loop Lighting
Split Lighting
Today’s lesson was about the SEVEN different types of Portrait Lighting. Which are; Loop, Split, Short, Rembrandt, and Broad Lighting. This was very fun and pleasing to the eye, It made me engage more and learn the different perspectives when lightning is involved. Every perspective of light have the shots a different feel to it. I admired split lighting and loop lighting reasons because of the emotions. Split lighting made me feel scared and made me feel a bit guilty in a way. Whereas, loop lighting gives me the feeling of hope. But overall, this lesson gave me an understanding of different types of lighting perspectives.

Here are the best 5 shots of each different type of lighting that we learned today. These took a lot of directing with each model. With all 5, I directed my classmates to follow my finger and to adjust their heads either facing away or toward the light. These are by far the hardest images to achieve yet this semester because you had to pay very close attention to where the light landed in order to get the correct lighting on the face. We had to move the light up and down due to hight and positioned the light closer to achieve harsher shadows. It was also hard to distinguish all five at one time, but I really learned a lot an phases that helped me remember. Like the closer, the light it’s broad light on your model, and the farthest away from the light is the short light side, (sounds right).

When taking these photos, I noticed broad and short lighting were the easiest to get. Second to them was split lighting. Rembrandt and loop lighting, I found to be more difficult. I can’t pinpoint which image I like the most, but I really like broad and short lighting. But the most interesting image to me is the one with split lighting. It has a kind of creepy feeling.

Photo 1 is an example of rembrandt. Photo 2 exemplifies split. Photo 3 is an example of either broad or short. Photo 4 is an example of loop. And photo 5 is another example for split. what I did for these photos was setting the light at the right angle so that they match up with the models, so that it gives the exact shot needed fo the above photos.

I really like all of these photos because of the way they’re all unique and different from each other. My favorite one that I took was the first one of christian because of how we played with the gels to try to make a gradient kind of color with the blue and red. For each of these photos I made sure to position my models that way the photo would come out with the kind of lighting I wanted. Overall, this was fun to do and play around with because it was all different and fun.
