The lesson we had was the first of many that my class have once every fortnight. The lessons are a great way to teach us more upon what we learnt in our first year of university photography lessons. In this lesson particularly we were looking at three different types of beauty lighting that we could then use for our own shoots for the project.
The lesson was factual and humorous the two hours flew by which is always a plus. We also went back to basics learning about Flash heads/beauty dishes and lighting stands all basic stuff.
Beauty Dish- the lighting can be quite artificial and is obviously from a studio due to the natural shadowing on the face not occurring.
Light box- A diffuser is on front soft box. The bigger the soft box the softer the light will become.
The bounce lighting
Very useful for boxes; point the light wrong way such as a white wall.
On a flash head the bulb is used in indication for where the flash would be going with the actual flash itself.
Using a flash metre in groups we were send to explore different readings from the cameras and distances; this is a great use of finding out about light and also experience for when we do our own shoots and the placements of where the flash metre should go next to the subject
