Our group’s social enterprise is nearly completed; some families have to get back to the group to advise of their favourite image to be professionally printed.

the above images are example of 4 different light techniques used in studio photography.

top main - is creative rim lighting, I find this style to be very effective in producing a moody atmosphere.  I find the colour of the skin to be interesting. this technique is produced by having the light directly behind the subject/subjects.

bottom left - this is side lighting and again similar to above can produce a moody effect; the subject is coming out from the darkness.  this technique is produced by placing the light at the side of the subject.

bottom middle - is 45 degree, I find this style of lighting to be effective in that on one side of the face there is what looks like a triangle between the nose and eye.  this technique is produced by placing the light at a 45 degree angle above the subject of the right hand side.

bottom right - this is frontal lighting and is produced by placing the light in front of the subject either above or slightly below the subject. 

bottom main - an example of a studio actor head shot.  although the image is good it is bland in comparison to location photography 

second image - this one is location head shot and as you can see has been taken out with the studio and outside. I like the location actor headshots as they are natural and organic and add more to the shot.

last image - this image represent a technique known as window light.  I particularly like this image as a result of the shadows on the floor of both dancer and window.
