Today’s Lesson: Lighting and it’s effect on Mood

All of these images were taken using the portable light with barn doors. I have two of these and they are battery powered, which means you can take them to places you normally wouldn’t be able to take a light to.

Notice how the light, its direction and it’s intensity changes in each photo by changing the angle, intensity and color of the light, we can make people feel the way we want them to.

This doesn’t mean that all the photos have to be dark or scary, on the contrary, you can use the light to enhance or brighten the mood, as seen the last two photos in the series.

Play with light when you do your self portrait. What side of yourself do you want to show, what kind of lighting set up do you want to use?

Use this video as a resource as to where to put the light source to get the look you want.

Written response: In your visual journal write me a paragraph where you describe the kind of lighting you want to have in your Self Portrait. What lighting style best describes you? Find 2-3 example online and include those photos in your visual journal post.

Next Assignment: Multi Image Self Portrait.

For this next image you will combine two or more photos to create a moody self portrait that describes who you are.

Last week you learned about how to use layer masks in Photoshop. You will use this technique along with lighting in a creative and expressive way to reveal something interesting or personal about you in a portrait that you take of yourself. If you are an athlete you may want to photograph something that relates to a sport. If you are a dancer maybe you choose something that relates to dancing. If you are a writer maybe a book, letters, or a pencil may relate to you.

Beginning steps:

  •  I can sketch multi-image self portrait ideas using a WACOM tablet and pen on a letter sized Adobe Photoshop document.

Note how you would like to use light in your photograph.

  • I can open my online portfolio and write a paragraph, using good grammar and punctuation, about what my multi-image portrait will say about me.
  •  After brain storming and sketching ideas I can work with an elbow partner and begin making photographs of myself and objects in preparation to create a multi image self portrait using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop.

It is important to take a moment and reflect about who you are and what is important in your life as you carefully consider what you want to say in your multi image self portrait.

Here’s the one I did. Notice how the light I used in this shot creates the mood for the photographs. This lighting gives me a place to start, gives me a starting place where I can write.

Think metaphorically or symbolically.

I’m using the tunnel in the image below as a metaphor for emotional well being.
