Studio Lighting,



Rembrandt lighting



Rembrandt lighting is mainly achieved in a studio. This is done by using a soft box to create soft light not harsh light, You then position the model at an angle with the photographer in front of them  By using a  soft light this create a flattering shadow on half of the face by the way you have positioned everything and your shadow is dark you may have a light triangle near the eye. You may also use a reflector to illuminate the other side of the face more.



Clamshell Lighting




This is created by using two light sources and two umbrellas. One light should be positioned above the subjects head and one just below. The higher one should be at an angle. This is mainly used for profile shots as it is tricky to shoot face on. By having these two light sources you are eliminating any shadows the appear.





Back light Lighting


 



This is achieved by placing a light source behind the subject  this illuminates the subject from the background. This creates a glowing affect around the subject. Reflectors can also be used if you would like to illuminate areas of the subject more.



Rim Light



This is very similar to backlight lighting however this uses a 4 point lighting set up one at the back Two at the sides and one behind the photographer. This creates light basically at every angle. This almost creates a silhouette around the subject or a glowing line however this is more luminous and harsh than the backlight lighting.










Here these photos were taking with a 3 piece lighting set up we also used reflector is necessary. As we were looking at tonal ranges and looking at illuminating the face.We set up the flash kit and use the camera settings of iso 400 1/50 and f7.1 this was right as it let just the right amount in. I am happy with my attempt at this technique as i feel i did get the tonal ranges i wanted in the photos
