Exposure

In today's lecture I used different types of lighting to light a model and see what difference it makes on her face. I used natural light from outside and tried to manipulate it by using different material such as a reflector and by changing the white balance setting on my camera.

Daylight setting (makes the background look blue and cold and model looks pale)

Tungsten setting

White fluorescent setting (blue, cold eerie looking, not flattering on the face)

Shade setting on my camera

Just by changing these few settings you can see the difference it makes

(used shade setting and black polystyrene so the light is absorbed by the black therefore has more shaded features on her face where the black is)

(used shade setting and a reflector so the light will bounce back off the lighting and onto her face highlighting her features more)

( used on shade setting black background, facing the light so its coming from both sides highlighting her face evenly)

(same as the image above but using fluorescent setting on my camera)

(800 ISO, F5.6, 1/60, lighting from behind her so the camera is picking more of the light, so it over lights her face making her blend into the background)

(same setting as above but used a black polystyrene in front of her from both side to absorb the light so its not over too bright)
