Blog Entry #4 - Use of Outside Lighting With Other Light Sources

PLAYING WITH LIGHT
This Project we were given involved Inside and Outside lighting. I took this picture in the English hallway, and to create the inside lighting on the top of her forhead, I asked her to stand under a light. I then used the light from behind her coming from outside. I used the silver part of the reflector to refelect the white light coming from outside onto her face. The light used from the sun also lights up the back of his head. Although you cannot see the sun, you can see a bit of light coming over her shoulder or off of the side of his face or his head. Using the inside and outside light I was able to mix light colours and contrasts to creat a nicer light. I think I used the light well, because there are no shadows on her forehead or the rest of her face. I then angled the reflector up to create less shadow under his eyes. Overall, using both types of light made the picture look and feel more real.
