Lights and Portraits

2007.09.15
The theory!

I shot an HDR quite by accident. That makes Yuk's eyes look super cool! He was our first model at the restaurant. It was quite funny since the customers though he was a movie star. Well, I think he may well become one!

Our second model..tried not to smile :)

Serious look~ Our third model was in high demand.

RW demonstrating how a black board can cast a darker shade even outside on the street.

That's how our little gang looked...

Forever helpful with great tips on cam settings. He is training to be a director!

Back inside, it was the toplight setting...

And we took a lot of portraits.

I cropped this one a bit :)

The gangster-rapper - I am wondering whether he will make non-gangster movies...hehe

That's how serious our gang was. Look at the camera! It's thrice the size of mine, I think!!

Then we went for the side light setting. With a lot of coaxing and reasoning, I think I got the right model for this set up!

A magazine cover shot

Thoughtful...

I chose to post the close-up over the long shot since I wanted to highlight the lighted and dark sides

This was the very high top light set up with which we were experimenting. I was glad we got a chance to play out our thoughts...

This is my favourite photograph. I have deliberately focussed on the face and not shot the body...

Not quite in the dungeons yet...but still MISSING

I thought this was a good try at doing a pose which people would normally do in bright light. I think it looks quite ok.

I joined a very enjoyable course on Lighting for Cinematographers and Photographers by Richard Wong. At first there was a theory class on the Laws of Light. Then a quick lunch followed by a shoot in the canteen. Everybody seemed quite shy in the beginning and took time to open up, i.e. in front of the camera. Then we went out on to the street...back again at the studio, we set up different lightings and had a go at each other...It was a great evening and we are meeting up again soon. The emphasis was on portraits.

mpaytubi Bon experiment i bona classe d'estudi d'expressions motivadores de sensacions, sentiments i reaccions en el espectador. Crec que les imatges i tan sol les imatges, no necessitarien de paraules. Felicitats !!

Good experiment and good class of study of expressions motivating of sensations, feelings and reactions in the viewer. I believe that the images and so alone the images, they would not need of words. Happiness!!
