This is my favorite of the many shots I took for my Music session. I cropped the image and used the rule of thirds to leave negative space. As mentioned before I love the black and white look to images, adding a sense of mystery to them. I used a chrome microphone because I figured it would have a nice effect with the black and white and would be more noticeable with the way I was arranging my lights. In this "portrait', I used only one light, it was a hair light. I experimented this particular pose with both the hair light and a beauty dish, however the effect I was looking for was better accomplished with just he hair light.
Before the editing and magic happened. It was a back and forth decision of how exactly I wanted to edit the image. Whether to leave it as is, to crop or not crop. Color or black and white.
The images selected below are just a few more that I loved. It was a hard choice to choose the one that would represent my favorite. Both my models were easy to interact with and
went with the flow, I made sure they were relaxed and had fun that way the pictures would come out "natural" than forcibly posed . We used movement for some shots, trying to get into the groove of music and follow the sense of feeling a song can have. I kept changing the position of the lights and turning them on and off to see which effect I would like better. Some had both, some either just the hair light or beauty dish. The last image shown, (the one with the bubble gum) was a technique Professor Schafer showed me. It was done by setting my ISO to 1600, f4, and shutter speed of 1/125. Instead of using the alien bees, I used only the light inside the room. We used white boards above the subjects and to their right side to bounce of the light. A white backdrop was placed behind and we used the black part of the v-flat to even out the light.
These are both of the set up shots for images presented.
