Using one hot light (omni light) in the Rembrandt position pointed directly at the subject standing in front of a white back-drop, Erin photographed each student using a Nikon D70: once with hard light, and once with hard light plus fill. As a fill, we used a reflector dish that was gold on one side, white on the other. Students worked in pairs and made all meter readings for Erin, and then held the fill reflector in the correct position. Notice how when the fill is used, shadows are lightened and the left side of the subject's face pops out more from the background. Here are a few of the photos we took:
Photo on Left: Hard Direct Light, no fill
Photo on Right: Hard Direct Light, with fill
Assignment due Jan 31: Bring at least 5 photos of your work to share with the class, preferably portraits or still life. Bring them as prints or on CD as jpgs.
