Assignment Description: For this assignment, we had to take portrait pictures of our fellow classmates. One photo had to use window lighting and light reflectors to create the ideal lighting. The other photo had to use a studio setup for the lighting. A group of us went around the school, finding good places for the portraits and helping each other achieve the lighting that we wanted. I chose to take pictures of my classmate, Zach.
What I Learned: In this assignment, I learned how to manipulate the light that you have to make your picture better, and how to change the white balance of my camera to match the type of light that I have. I also learned the importance of making sure your subject has a good time, which can completely change the mood of the picture.
