We started out with a group critique of the "headshot" assignment that was due. Rob really nailed it with this shot of Megan:
The headshots Alissa took demonstrated the "3 Looks" well:
During a slide lecture we talked about how to create mood and emotion in our photographs by using colored light and the technique of light painting. Color can be added by attaching gels to hot lights and strobes.
Here is a video on the use of Light Painting during a Night Photo Shoot
In class, we did a demo using colored light. Oscar posed for us, and we lit the background with a hot light and a red gel. We taped a small purple gel on a hand held flash and popped it several times during a 5 second exposure on Oscar's face.
Assignment due next week (2/21): 2 photos
PHOTO 1: Create a portrait that portrays a specific mood or emotion using gels on either hot lights or flash.
PHOTO 2: Create one photo (doesn’t have to be a portrait) using the bulb setting on your camera, at night or in a dark studio, using the ideas of ‘light painting’ (try using a candle, a flash light, slide projector etc… with a long exposure)
