In this workshop, we set up in the studio further example using Flash. using Multiple flashes to achieve the best outcome. We where given gel colours to place in front of the flash to change the colour of the light. Using the coloured background and colours flash to achieve aesthetically pleasing effects.

In this photo we website the natural colour of the flash with a pale blue background. Using a light meter to get the flash intensity at the correct strength. Again Setting the camera shutter speed at 1/125 and iso 100 and RAW format. Keeping eye on the aperture because of the KIt lense with the camera it would change when you zoom with the lens.

The second photo we added a purple gel to one of the lights and decided to you a Profile picture so the colour difference can enhance the difference between the skin an hair giving it a slight pinkish hue against the hair.

Using Multiple gel colours that we had available to us as well as a baby blue background we were able to achieve the results. How some of the colours mix and wash out towards the background. It is all about where to place the coloured gels and intensity. A variety of different looks and colours can be achieved.

In the last shot, we stopped using gel and add an attachment to one of the flashlights that would focus spread of the light. Giving a spotlight effect that can be seen against the background. As well as a softbox flight light to focus on the face not be in too much darkness.

In Photgoraphy workshop We we given:

• Camera
• Flash
• Profoto Power Box

• Light Meter

  We begin learning how to use these items togther and understanding the relationship between the strength of the flash and the aperture of the camera.

  

  We were first tasked with taking a picture with one flash. We begen experiement with the photo of motion. From the example below they where Of dnacing and through items in the air.

  

  

  With these photos we had primarly just focus on a single subject and not thinking about the background. Out intention was to get the subject correctly exposed and the flash to be fast enough to freeze motion with in the frame.

  From this we began to understand the different relationship of the setting between the light position, light strength and, camera setting.

  After the break we where tasked to start using 2 more lights. With these three light we would use two light to expose the background different from the subject using the third.

  We had to frist evenly place the two light the same distance away from the background. and test with the photo meter without a subject.

A few Photos from the studio workshop:

Introduction to the Photography Brief: Portraits.

I will need to find a theme from research to eventually produce 3 Portraits.

The workshop Start experimenting with Canon and Flash, Started with one flash, learning how to choose the strength. Finding the strength of the light with a light meter and finding the correct aperture.

Camera: Canon EOS 1300D Shutter speed at: 1/125 ISO at 100 Only changing the F number: Depending on the strenght of the flash being used.

After lucnh break we begin using 3 lights, exposing the background differently from the
