Assignment 12 Shiny Objects

ISO 100, f/25, 1/60 sec

Two 1600 lights were set up  symmetrically on the sides of the table, both raised above. The light on the right side of the table was set at -2 and the light on the left side was set at -1. This created two different intensity of shadows.
Since the shiny object was a mirror there were problems having the reflection look interesting, rather than just capturing the ceiling of the room. I ultimately decided to have the mirror reflect the holographic board. Initially, the entire set up was inside of the light tent, but the lack of shadows made the product seem two-dimensional. 

Option 1: Back light, light with grid to focus on face, black background

Option 2: White background

Model will be used, portrait style in studio.
Neon makeup
Biggest challenge: if dark, to get the light focused on the subject's face. Maybe use a snoot
If light, to get neon to show up.

Assignment 9 Physics of Jaclyn

ISO 100, f11, 6 seconds; Strobe only, multiple bursts (1s, 3s, 5s)
I tried to capture a movement of Jaclyn's arms in distinct places, inspired by Da Vinci's physics illustration. To achieve the distinct placements and not the movement in between I used only a strobe which was fired at one second, three seconds, and five seconds on a 6 second shutter speed.

Assignment 8 Replication

Audrey Hepburn by

The small 10 grid and even smaller snoot helped to focus the key light on the top half of the model's face. The fill light helped to light the model's right side. The hair light was at a high height and facing down on the model's hair.
