So I'm two weeks behind but here are my thoughts from the second studio photography class...
Class Two:
 |
| one light source |
 |
| two light sources |
 |
| three light sources - key, fill, effect (background) |
- Learn your apertures: 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22, 32, 45, 64, 90, 128, 180 (woo! I did this by myself without looking at my notes!)
- Class session focus: Multiple light sources
- The core properties of lights are Intensity and Direction
- Intensity: conform your light to the aperture you choose, use settings that I want and crank up the lights to make it work
- Direction: can control the direction of light and can control form of the model (shadows)
- Key Light: the light source that the other lights must respond to
- Secondary Lights: All other lights that must wait until key light is determined
- Fill Light: Controls contrast ratio (determines shades of gray on model)
- Effect Light: Extra element (Background lighting)
- Lighting the human face - we won't photography a person straight on because people have asymmetrical faces
- Broad Side of the face - the side of the face you can see
- Short Side of the face - the sliver of the face you can see
- Broad Side lighting: gets rid of texture and makes faces look rounder
- Short Side lighting: adds texture
- Should light from above eye level
