Practising with lighting

Practising with Lighting

In our lesson today we started to play around with different lighting set ups and the effect the lighting has on the image.
For beauty shots you often need the light quite bright and hitting the face at the right height and angle to make a flattering beauty shot.

In this lesson we used a soft box lighting system to create a soft but bright image, using a soft box would get rid of harsh shadows on the face but at the same time create beautiful soft shadows under the cheek bones. In the images below I think the lighting worked really well to capture a mood and warmth to the image. The eyes also really stand out in this image because the light is hitting the eye makes the colour stand out.
