Lighting setups (Studio Photography 21.02.22)

 

This week, we learned about different lighting set ups for studio photography. Here's a few of the shots I took.

This was taken using a split lighting set up. This meant that there was one light to the right hand side of the model. This leaves a lot of sharp shadows on her face and leaves one side of her much darker than the other.

    

This photo was taken using a loop lighting set up. This means that there was one light at a 3/4 angle close to the model. This lights up more of the models face, but still leaves some sharp defining shadows.

This photo was taken with a split lighting set up. This is very similar to the loop set up, however instead of the light being close to the model, this time it's further away. This leaves more light on the face. It still produces shadows but they're much softer.
