Using a softbox light to the right and a strobe with a colour filter to the left of the shot created a strong divide on Laura’s face. After experimenting with several colours including orange, green and purple, we settled on red as it gave a spooky effect for the photo. I accentuated the red slightly using Photoshop.
This photo features Kira from another photo in the Studio Portraits section. She is silhouetted behind a light, which was linked to the camera using a sync cable. A green filter was covering the light, and the saturation of the green was enhanced when I edited the photo later.
I attempted to recreate the Rembrandt lighting effect with this studio portrait of Lankitha – there is a clear triangle of shadow on her right cheek. This photo required very little editing and processing.
For the Digital Portfolio, one of the photography themes that I have picked was studio portraits. This photo shows Sebastien posing in the studio. Using a single light and a low camera angle, it gives the impression of scale and intimidation. I removed the background lights and ceiling using Adobe Photoshop.
