Second Class Assignment: Studio Lighting for Portraiture

Shot list:
Using three clamp lamps and a fill card please create the 5 following lighting scenarios:
Please shoot, upload and number your shots in this order.


As we will discuss in class, I want you to truly create a portrait of an individual using these lighting scenarios.

clothing
location / background
props (optional)
pose and expression of the sitter
