Year 3/4 Portrait lighting workshop assignment for certification

Go through your photos from the lighting workshop and select and edit 3 portfolio quality images.
Ideally you should choose at least one in the studio.

Post each on your blog and write an analysis of each one discussing the following:

Light - discuss natural vs. artificial light and any details that demonstrate your learning from the workshop with Steve Carty. (Direction, placement, distance, angle, number of lights etc.) Also, whether a reflector was used and what that may have contributed to the photo.

Background to subject relationship (distance from the background and choice of background)

Expression - discuss what works about the expression on the subject's face.

Composition - placement of subject in frame - vertical vs. horizontal.

For studio shots please add a diagram (you can do this quickly in photoshop or illustrator and save as a jpg) of your subject, lights, background and camera placements - see Steve's diagrams.

Once this is completed, you will be eligible to receive your certification!

Way to go everyone!
