Shaped by Light

The goal for this week’s assignment is to create images that show the effect of lighting on a scene. Arrange objects and photograph them using different sorts of artificial light. Once you have created a scene, photograph it repeatedly using different lighting set-ups.

Consider using all white or all grey objects to get a clear view of how shadows change. Try using black items to see how much detail can be lost. Experiment with lighting through transparent objects. Use different lighting devices and modifiers to create different varieties of hard light and soft light.

Shoot 40-50 images, and upload to Flickr. Share your best 4-6 with the group, but share images in sets of 2-3 shots of the same scene with different lighting.
