editorial piece

evaluation


evaluation

In this project i have produced a series of pictures based on the movie burlesque. I have produced a series of location photography and a series of studio photographs. I have also produced an editors page telling about my burlesque scenes and clothes and style.

I enjoyed this project very much. it was based of studio photography and thats the thing that I'm aiming for. i have seen how the studio works and how to become a studio photographer. I enjoyed my photoshoot in the studio. and in location and experimentation with different lights and the different effects that i got.

in this project i have learned different types of lights. I have also learned how they work and which lamp is best for what effect I'm trying g to create. In my photoshoot that i did I mostly used the soft box and the snoot.  We have learned different names of different llights and how the health and safety works in the studio and what we should and should not do.

in my project i could have worked better with my time management.

Different types of lights in the studio

The most common lights in a studio are umbrellas and softbox.
There are three times of tinted umbrellas , silver-lined, white and gold. reflecting umbrellas produce a soft light due to the large size the reflecting surface. they are made in this way that the storbe light  is actually facing away from the subject or model. The light travells from the storbe head hitting the inside of the umbrella and then again bouncing to the subject.

Softboxes on the other hand are usually square or rectangular. They are lightweight boxes that come with a reflective inside and a translucent front. Softboxes come in different shapes and sizes and are attached to the front the strobe over the light source. Light emitted from the strobe head gets reflected inside the walls of the softbox and diffused through the box's translucent front creating a soft, but more focused light source illuminating the model or scene

In this project i have used these two lamps to shoot my final pictures and my my practise. my favourite lamp is the softbox because it gives a beautiful light to the skin and a beutiful soft looking skin on pictures. I havent tried any pictures yet using an umbrella. but i would like to try and see the different effects that it gives. 


In photography reflector is an improvised or specialised surface to reflect light from it to the subject that we want to direct the light to.

snoot is a tube that is fitted over a studio light. it is used by photographers to control the direction of the light and the radius of the light beam these shoots may be in different shapes, it can be conical, cylindrical or rectangular. in my project for my studio shoot i have used a snoot. i used it for to create a spot light coming from the tom , shining down on my model. the effect given by snoot is very shark and light, shoots are used for more dramatic effect of the pictures, to give a strong light to the picture.

barn doors tend to be used to shape the light. they don't really effect the hardness or softness of the light given. the hardness or softness of the light is created by the type of light source.  two side of flaps close together might produce a slim light shape like light passing through a partially open door.

Next we have an Elinchrom head in a standard reflector, this produces directional but useful light of good quality.

task 3 a low and high key

task 3 high and low key

High key lightening is a style of lightening used not only in photography but also in films and television. high key lightening aims to reduce the lightening ration in the scene. this was done originally for technological reasons because early films did deal well with high contrast ratio. now a days it is used on using mid-tone grey's to bright whites. the use of bright lights eliminate shadow reduced the contrast in the picture.

Low-key lighting is a style of lighting for photography, film or television. It is a necessary element in creating a chiaroscuro effect. Traditional photographic lighting, three-point lighting uses akey light, a fill light, and a back light for illumination. This effect created a great mood or sets the tone of the scene. this is usually used to get a great effect with the darks. this kind of photography is used in horrors movies or in horror photography.Low-key lighting is also used in photography to create the same types of effects.
