I wanted to create a spontaneous rough draft on the effects of lighting. The subject, a Japanese doll. Main source of light, a flash-light that I held approximately 13 inches away from all directions. I utilized nine different angles of light:
- Top Center
- Center
- Camera right profile
- Camera left profile
- 45 degree top camera right
- 45 degree top camera left
- 45 degree bottom camera right
- 45 degree bottom camera left
- 45 degree bottom center
The first picture is without the flash-light. In addition, the camera left profile has much more ambient lighting than it's camera right profile picture due to the angle of the flash-light to the wall.
The pictures' objective is to gain more comprehension on the effects of lighting and its angles. Of course it's open to interpretation but my favorite perspective reflects the 45 degree top left and right images, in addition to the direct top center angle. It would seem as if these directions of light would yield a soft, clear, and gentle portrayal of an individual. Then again, it also depends on what theme and effect one would hope to depict; many combinations and effects here. =)
