Assignment 04 : 3 Light Hollywood Portrait

Assignment 04

: 3 Light Hollywood Portrait

The main light was set on the right side and slightly above. Toward to the model.
We used reflection board as a fill light at the left side. 
And the background light was set right side, and diagonally.

We set the main light almost right in front of the model and pulled it up so that the light can fall down to model's face.
And we wanted to express the model's hair details. So we set the light at back of the model.
At the background, we set the light at the bottom of ground toward to left side.

First, I wanted to try to use 3 lights with flash. But I had hard time to adjust the power of light.
So I just use one light with softbox.
Setting the light upside so that I can make some mood.

Assignment 03 : One Light

Assignment 03

: One Light

There were limitations due to using only one light.
But I think we found several ways to make different atmospheres.
By using the length between light and subject, different material of reflectors, and of course the position of light.


1. Jemma

Jemma remind us of pure and neat image.
So, we simply set the light slightly above her head, and set reflector(white sheet) at the bottom.
To lighten her face.

On the contrary, we took more dramatic picture.

Setting the light at the bottom so that she look disturbing.

2. Sukshma

We think that Sukshma has really direct personality.

So we set the light right in front, but slightly above of her.

On the contrary, we try to make it softer image.

But If we put diffuser, the light's power gets too low.

So, we put the light back of her and try to show some of her face detail with reflector(white sheet).

3. JI HOON

My team told me that I look like a really cold person. Not revealing myself.

So, we set the light at the right side so that it makes high contrast.

On the contrary, we set the light on the left side and put reflector(shinny) at the bottom to emphasize the smiley face.

4. Ki

We thought Ki is kind easy going person.

So, we set the light far from him so that we can get more flat image.

On the contrary, we set the light on his right side. But slightly behind him.

So we wanted to make it look serious look.

Assignment 02 : Demonstrate the 3 Laws Of Light in One Photograph

Assignment 02

: Demonstrate the 3 Laws Of Light in One Photograph

Angle of incident light and reflect light are same.
Due to the feature that light is reflected exactly same angle when it meets smooth surface.

You can see the light is getting wider because of straightness of light.

Assignment 01 : Inverse Square Law

Assignment 01

:Inverse Square Law

Jihoon, Jemma and Sukshma

1. We took photos applying the inverse square law.

We set the three 18% grey cards 1ft distance between each other. And set the distance from the light  to the middle grey card 2ft, 4ft, 8ft, 16ft and 32ft. We only manipulated the shutter speed to make the middle grey same no matter what distance between light and the middle grey.

The intensity of the light = 1/distance²

2ft→4ft  1/2²

4ft→8ft  1/2⁴

8ft→16ft  1/2⁶

16ft→32ft  1/2⁸

Single ambient light source which is 2ft away form the middle grey card
1/30, f/9, ISO 100

Single ambient light source which is 4ft away form the middle grey card
1/8, f/9, ISO 100

Single ambient light source which is 8ft away form the middle grey card
1/2, f/9, ISO 100

Single ambient light source which is 16ft away form the middle grey card
2, f/9, ISO 100

Single ambient light source which is 32ft away form the middle grey card
8, f/9, ISO 100

2. We set three cards in order of Black, Grey, and White.   And we manipulated the distance between those three cards to make three cards 18% grey.

1/15, f/4, ISO 400
