Workshop 9- The Barbara Cartland Session - soft light


Our task for this workshop was to:
Use flash, ambient or other lights in combination to create a soft and flattering portrait. 

Part 1 - 
Set up a Colorama paper backdrop. Set up a 'key' flash with an appropriate attachment to make a softly lit portrait. Position a model in front of your backdrop. Take a flash meter reading. Take a photograph. 

  1. Part 2 - 
    Use a large white polyboard to reflect and fill any shadows. Take a me- ter reading and a photograph. 


    Part 3 - 
    Consider adding a second light. What attachment(s) might work? Where should/could this light be placed? Take a meter reading and shoot 

    Part 4- 
    Consider adding a third light. What attachment(s) might be appropriate? Where could/should this light be placed? Take a meter reading and shoot. 

    Over all I think this shoot was a success however i had no real part in set up as I was the model.
