Initially this was meant to be my only shoot for the project, however, I wasn’t pleased with the outcome of the lighting. As mentioned, I wanted the lighting setup to either be rembrandt or quite high key with minimal to no shadows. Although the outcome resulted to minimal shadows, it gave my pictures a yellow cast no matter how much I increased the intensity if the light. Also, I didn’t like how the ceiling was too low making it not possible to heighten the position of the lights.
Below is a closer look of examples from the shoot:
I had no choice but to ask my model if I could reschedule another shoot and I decided to do it outside of the university since the studio (1) was not available the day my model was free and Rochester is quite far and expensive for him to come back again.
After this mishap, I watched tutorials on how to achieve a lighting setup using one or two light sources to give me a clearer idea on how to set it up next time.
