GROUP PROJECT - FIRST SHOOTING



Prolinca Studio Lights Kit
Lighting Inspired by Caravaggio

We started the first shooting studio 4. It was great, well, I think! It is the manoeuvre that is the key to an excellent image. A tiny little change in the position of any lighting, the tiny little change of the amount of the lighting, the tiny angle and position of the camera…then the minute and subtle posture and complexion of the sitters, and of course the key eye moods… We spent hours in playing around these subtle changes. The accessory such as soft box and honeycomb gives great lighting effects. I found the honeycomb is amazing; it changes the harsh light into such directed softer dramatic light. We used digital and finalised the shooting with Polaroid by Mamiya RB67.

I prefer this shot as the front sitter stands out by the silhouette, while the soft lighting on the body and face create the moody ambiance, as opposed to the well lit back sitter. Both eyes direction work perfectly well. Composition is well balanced but it might be a little too filling the frame and at the same time, it might need a little crop at the bottom to make the naked perception continue.

We will shoot formally in one-week time.
