Further Workshop - Portraits

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.
