Lighting

This is my first light photograph. I put the light behind my model so that the only thing that would show up in the lighting is the outline of her profile. I like the way it turned out because it's different. It's almost like a trick photograph because when you take a quick glance you think that it's just a streak of light on a long exposure, but after you look at it closely you start to see that there is a figure behind it.

This is my second light photograph. I held the spotlight on the left side of my model so that it would only highlight half of her face. I felt that this would create a dramatic effect and also add alot of contrast. I dodged and burned her eye to make it the focal point of the piece. I like the way it turned out because i like the overall tone of the photograph and i like that it's only focused on her face.

This is my third light image. I placed a spotlight directly under my model and made certain shadows and highlights on her face. I had her wear really dramatic makeup. Since it didn't show up very well in the actual photograph i dodged her eyes in photoshop so i could add more brightness. I like the way it turned out because it almost looks like there's a fire under her.
