Studio Portraits Progress Update

Mixed LightingThis shoot was inspired by fortune tellers. Using my coloured disco ball set to spin I made it look like a sort of glass ball type orb thing.







Environmental / Creative lighting

This photo was about a kidnap victim. Using a light at the front to look like a door opening and one at the back for separation. No props allowed so I used light as per the brief.

The product to go with this photo will be a protein bar. I will be advertising Musashi.



Studio Products Progress Update

Alcohol
So I re shot my alcohol shot using Gossips Pink Moscato. I really liked the outcome of this shoot it was very fun especially after the first time I shot this alcohol didn't work out very well so I have the result of the re shoot I decided to do below.

So for this shoot I used 1 large soft box to the left hand side and a white reflector on the other side with a pink gel on the background, while an assistant poured wine into the glass.



Product of my choice - Sunscreen

For this shoot I used a bright light on the background ( blue cardboard ) and a large high soft box on the left hand side. I was trying to make the photo look like the sun was shining down on the product.




Home Appliance - Blender 

For this shoot I used a soft box on the left hand side and reflector on the right really close to imitate the light being shone on the left hand side. This shot proved a bit difficult since there was a fair bit of glass. I originally wanted just a white background and table, but that made the glass hard to see. I then tried using black behind the glass but I didn't like how it showed all the imperfections in the glass. I settled on grey as it was in between and makes the glass stand out.

Inspiration - Portraits

Just a few images I liked and gave me some inspiration for my studio portraits this semester.

Mixed Lighting....






Environmental lighting

I would say the first image was my main inspiration for my environmental lighting.



 Used with this one to create the environment out of light...
