Even though there was no assignment due this week, Oscar did a shoot on his own in the studio using strobes. For this shot, he had a blue gel on a strobe on the background and a softbox on the subject.

Class # 5: Intro to Strobes
We started class by going over the "Colored Lighting" assignment from last week. Several students had fun experimenting with colored bulbs, gels, and slide projectors. Here is a photo Vivian took:
And here's one that Matt took using a slide projector with a red gel over it:
We did an in-class reading by Irving Penn and had a conversation about his philosophy on the photographer/subject relationship in the studio. To download a copy of this article, click here:
This week we had an intro to STROBES demo. This will be a 2 part class, so there was no assignment given.

Class # 4
February 14 : Color, Light, Mood
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)
